running a cgi script even when browser is closed

hii, i have a cgi script file which may take some hours to complete. The script logs the output and mails the user. so the browser need not be open for the output. But currently the script dies off the instant the browser is closed or other pages are viewed. Is there a way out .. ?

i have started a shell script which will exec this script file in background. But even then the script exits, when the browser is disturbed.

NAME
bb-snapshot.cgi - CGI program to rebuild the Xymon webpages for a specific point in time. SYNOPSIS
bb-snapshot.cgi DESCRIPTION
bb-snapshot.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-snapshot.sh CGI wrapper.

"day" must be in the range 1..31; "yr" must be specified including century (e.g. "2003"). "hour" must be specified using a 24-hour clock. All of the processing involved in generating the report is done by invoking bbgen(1) with the proper "--snapshot" option. OPTIONS
--env=FILENAME Load environment from FILENAME before executing the CGI. bbgen-options All options except "--env" are passed on to the bbgen(1) program building the snapshot files. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
