Put an ampersand after your command to run it in the background. For example, you can type this in console:
gedit &
Now if you close the console, gedit will still be running.
Better yet:
gedit >/dev/null 2>&1 &
(redirect both stdout and stderr to /dev/null and run program in background).
Rick, by sending both stdout and stderr to /dev/null wouldn't you prevent gedit ( or whatever the application is ) from printing an error message should an error condition, or even an application crash occur ?
