Use the "screen" command.  In essence you would ssh to your target 
machine, issue the screen command, run your command, detach from 
the command by using the "<CTRL-a>,d" sequence, then exit from the 
target machine.  Later you could ssh to your target machine, issue 
the "screen -list" to see your detached session(s) and issue the 
"screen -r <desired-session>" to reattach to the previously running 
session.  See "man screen" for more details.
