You can also use screen, a terminal multiplexer. When you login, start screen first and then than indexin application. After that you can detach from that session (^A d) and logof. When you later login again you can resume same session with screen -r -command. In addition if you define screen to detach when hangup open sessions are no interrupted if connection is lost for reason or another.
