Combining Command line parameters in the background

Post by fsantiago07044 » 2014/04/30 18:39:11

How can I do or make work something like this:

tail -f logfile | grep terms > localfile.txt

and then run it in the background after I've started it manually from the CLI?

I think even the dumbest moderator here would have spotted a spammer with 7000+ posts ;)
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
