Hi,
that is also possible with 'screen'.
Take a look on the man-page:
-d -m Start screen in "detached" mode. This creates a new session but
doesn't attach to it. This is useful for system startup
scripts.
-D -m This also starts screen in "detached" mode, but doesn't fork a
new process. The command exits if the session terminates.
Nice greetings,
Harald
