But I would like to vote for already mentioned "screen" command. It provides a true imitation of an interactive session. E.g. if after 20 hours of computing gap says "Out of Baz. Would you like to continue with Foo set to Baz*2 ?" then you can still continue interacting with gap (and save 20 hours, that would have been lost if you ran an non-interactive computation instead).
