It's probably doable with something like
   create a shell file  (mine.sh)
   put into it the command you want to run   (i.e. mycommand &    - note 
the & to make this a background task)
   execute shell(mine.sh)

Sorry - been too many years since I last did it, and I don't have a Unix 
system to play on - but I have a couple of brain cells left that 
remember doing some variant of this
