Hi, Yes, putty will work fine for those commands given. But disconnecting after you start it will not work. Use screen. There was an excellent article in Linux Journal several months ago by Marcel Cagne' about screen. man screen also. Basically, once you connect to your Linux box, run screen from the command line. I've forgotten the keystrokes, but open several more screens and start the programs you want to run while disconnected. Change to an unused screen and logout. There is a command line you use to find screen so you can reconnect to it the next time you log in. Hope this helps!
