I dont think this is the correct approach of doing it. I think there is another way of achieving your goal.
The 'nohup' (i.e No HangUP) command keeps a job running even after the user has logged off. So, whatever command u want to keep executing, just prefix the 'nohup' command before it and also, run this command in the background. For Example
nohup <Complete path of your program> &
Hope that helps

NOHUP(1) User Commands NOHUP(1)
NAME
nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty
SYNOPSIS
nohup COMMAND [ARG]...
nohup OPTION
DESCRIPTION
Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals.
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
If standard input is a terminal, redirect it from an unreadable file. If standard output is a terminal, append output to 'nohup.out' if
possible, '$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise. If standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output. To save output to FILE, use
'nohup COMMAND > FILE'.
NOTE: your shell may have its own version of nohup, which usually supersedes the version described here. Please refer to your shell's doc-
umentation for details about the options it supports.
