Script persistence?

Hi,

I'm new to this sort of area, and I'm not sure if this is
the right group (please direct me to the approriate one
if not).

I have a bash script that I want to run in my Linux
box, and I intend to invoke that script from a browser,
on another machine with a submit button.

I am interested to know how I could keep the script
running if the browser/session times out, or even if
the browser is accidently closed?

Ultimately, I do not want my bash script to abort if
something like that happens.

Any help or pointers appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris Val

Hi Davide, and thanks for your answer - I will look into
using a background process.
