At, Batch, Nohup, Cronjob... etc.

I've been recently doing a lot of batch operations; things that may take a day to completely run. I've heard and read a bit of many different programs to handle this sort of thing: cronjob to schedule tasks to occur periodically at/batch to run a task once at a specific time nohup to run a task immune to hangups I want to run a task in the background so that if I disconnect from the server, the program won't stop running. So, I've been using nohup programblahblah blah > output.txt & To shuffle it off to run in the background. Is this the best way? Thanks.
