A good solution I use is running a command/program called screen.   Run
screen, start your application, press CTRL-a  then  d   to disconnect
from the session.  then type screen -r   to reconnect to the session
later.

  Don't worry about security issues, the only user that can reconnect to
the session is the user that started the session. 

  screen has a lot more functionality aswell, it's definitely worth
getting deeper into.
