Terminal multiplexors like screen and tmux are very good for "I want to 
start a non-daemon, disconnect, and come back later to see what happened."

Here's how it works with screen:

log on
$ screen
$ (enter log running command)
type control-a d to detach the screen session
log off

later...

log into the remote system
$ screen -r

and you'll be back in your long running program's term, including any 
output the program printed while you were gone.
