We use OmniORB 3.0.4 on Debian GNU/Linux. We use the following command to keep 
a servant running after exiting a shell:

start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/${component_name}.pid \
                        --make-pidfile --background --exec $component_name --  
$extra_options

So maybe, you can use this command or check its implementation for some clues.

Bye,
