screen is a unix utility that lets you manage multiple shells from within a single window. You switch between them with a few keystrokes. When you disconnect it keeps the processes alive, and you can reconnect from another login.
It's pretty handy. tmux does a similar set of things.
a nice screen tutorial from ~jonathan will walk you through it.
