The "screen" program can detach a session from its VT and resume it from 
another, e.g. do a 

screen iocstartcmd

followed by Ctrl-a d to detach, then logout. To resume the session type

screen -r

any time later and it will resume using whatever VT you're on. I just verified 
this works with the ioc example app from R3.14.6.

HTH,
