A solution to this which I particularly enjoy is 'screen'.  This program 
basically allows you to have a multiple bash sessions running through one 
terminal session.  What may be usefull to you is that you can detatch a 
screen session.  This will return you to your original shell, but all off the 
processes you started in screen will still be running.  You can then log out, 
log back in anytime, and re-attatch the screen session.

Here is the description from freshmeat.net:

"Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal 
between several processes, typically interactive shells. Each virtual 
terminal provides the functions of the DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, 
several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 
standards (e.g., insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets)."

And finally, screen's homepage:
