running commands remotely

[Tim Wilson <wilson@chemsun.chem.umn.edu>]

Howdy,

I'd like to telnet in to my server from home, start some process, and log
out and have the process continue to run on its own. How can I do it?
Specifically, trying to get a copy of RedHat 6.0 today has reminded me how
nice it would be to have my server do that in the middle of the night
while I'm snoozing. I don't want to be logged in to school all night.
Ideas?

-Tim
