Subject: Detach program from tty?


Situation: loged into remote machine over ssh. Wish to start long process
(wget download an iso).

Problem: If I close my ssh client (Putty) session (ie if I have to reboot
this damn win box sometime today) the wget is gonna stop.

Solution: somehow detach the wget process from the tty so when the tty
closes, wget does not close down

Method: thats what I want help with :-)

I'm sure there is an answer, I just can't find it right now. BTW this is a
FreeBSD box I am ssh'd into.
