Question sleep 10 && command doesn't work

Hi there,
I found a trick to easily postpone a command by a few seconds:

Code:
supernova:~# sleep 10 && command &

If you logout, the command should still be executed... But not all the time.
Could anyone of you explain me why the following command is executed even after logging out:

Code:
supernova:~# sleep 10 && touch somefile &

and not that one:

Code:
supernova:~# sleep 10 && /etc/init.d/networking force-reload &

Thanks in advance
Santiago
