Peter--

Am I missing something here?  Why not just run it in the background,
e.g,

%> r.mapcalc < huge_job.overnight > any_output_goes_here &

or

%> r.stats big.raster -the_works output=some_file &

These will continue after you logout.  Alternatively, you can start the
job in the foreground to make sure all is well, stop it with a
CONTROL-Z (^Z) when you're satisfied, then type "bg" at the prompt to
move it into the background, where it will run merrily along while you
sleep.

Does this help, or did I misinterpret your question?
