You want to be using GNU Screen. It is super awesome!
ssh me@myserver.com
screen #start a screen session
run-a-long-process
CTRL+a , d to detatch from your screen session
exit #disconnect from the server, while run-a-long-process continues
When you come back to your laptop:
ssh me@myserver.com
screen -r #resume the screen session
Then check out the progress of your long-running process!
You can quit that screen without attaching to it. First, find its session and then quit it:
screen -ls
screen -X -S [session # you want to kill] quit
