running program in background

[Julian Opificius <julianop mninter net>]

Could somebody please remind me how to run a program (in this case, SETI) 
from the command line such that it will stay running when I close the window?

Also, is there a way I can dynamically alter the amount of processor time a 
given program will take?

I wish I could remember all this stuff. Linux documentation is like 
American roadsigns - useful if you already know where you're going.

Thanks in advance !

julian.
