VivekNot sure if it is available on SUN (or if you hve it installed) but on Linux I use the SCREEN command - it looks like a normal command window but you can detach it and let it run without worrying about net connections etc. You can then re-attach at any later point, from a different PC client session if you want (I use it to kick things off to run whilst I'm out of the office etc).
I find it easier that nohup as you have all the normal features of a session (output, input etc) - you just let it run whilst you eat/sleep/drink - when you come back to it it is just like it was a normal session you left running.
