how about just putting the sql contents in a shell script and call it
using 'nohup'
say :
1.sh ===== sqlplus <username>/<password>@<connectString> <<EOF select 'whatever you want to do goes here' from dual; exit; EOF
main.sh file ==============
nohup 1.sh >> /tmp/1.log & nohup 2.sh >> /tmp/2.log &
Thats what I do for running things in bg.
