I use screen regularly, a cool tool:

Docs:
https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/screen/
http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/screen/

Usage:
- Just run 'screen' and you are set.
- To disconnect from the session press Control-A, Control-D.
- To list your screens type 'screen -ls'
- To reconnect with a disconnected screen run 'screen -r [number]'
   ('number' you need if you have several screens running.)
