Check out the nohup command. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup
Allows you to logout and leave things running. Not the best solution but has worked very well for us.
I came across an even better solution called screen. I can access the process from any connection with disrupting it. Perfect for minecraft (or long complies for that matter).
screen is an excellent solution. Especially for long compiles and such jobs as you say.
Ultimately server processes like that should be started by the OS on boot up. Perhaps some monitoring should be in place to restart them when if they crash. Saves all that manual intervention.

Yes. I found some info on making minecraft a service that should do the trick. Screen is working pretty good for now though,
