Use the --daemonize switch to detach from the console. To kill the processes, you can identify the process id's and kill -9 them, or do a killall by process name.
Check the user guide for the finer details. Anyway, I'd recommend you to use an init script, there's some examples for RedHat/CentOS and other distros floating around, google a little bit and you'll find out.
