background process

Hello,

This has probably been answered in other forms, however I would like to confirm this statement before I use it in production. Will this syntax work for a background process?

Code:
echo "nohup server_process1 >/dir1/nohup.server_process1 2>&1 &" | ksh

Please advise. Thanks

Never mind. This works allright. the process remains even after I quit the login shell.
