Running a command in background?

I know that on non-Linux systems, if you try to exit while you have a
running job in the background, you get a warning saying "you have running
jobs."  If you try to exit again, the job is killed.  That's why it's a
good idea to use nohup on those systems, and I figure it can't hurt on
Linux.  By non-Linux, I mean other Unix variants like Solaris.
