I have a program that takes a lot of time to finish. It is running as root over ssh.
I want it to continue to run after I logout,is this possible and how would I achieve this?

You could use screen, detach and reattach

You should try using nohup and running it in the background:

nohup sleep 3600 &

Start in the background:

./long_running_process options &

And disown the job before you log out:

disown

You want nohup. See http://nixcraft.com/linux-software/313-ssh-nohup-connection.html

I would try the program screen.
