XMonad aside, I always run long-running computations inside GNU screen,
to avoid any risk of accidentally killing them by logging out, or killing
the terminal, or other such pitfalls (the probability of which
mysteriously seems to increase exponentially the longer and more
important the computation is!)

If your computations are command-line programs (most are), you might find
it useful.

Best,
Toby
