Screen, nohup, etc; all great answers.

Just for curiosity's sake, isn't standard redirection
the first thing to think of?

#cvsup /ports-via-modem.sup > /root/cvsuplog &

Wanna get it back?

#jobs
[1]  + Running                       cvsup /ports-via-modem.sup > 
/root/cvsuplog

Wanna keep it in the bg, but check its current status?

$tail -f  /myhome/cvsuplog
