Dear Basu:
It is the OS's business rather than NAMD, the command to run namd is
(1) namd2  foo.conf                    # run namd2 in foreground
(2) namd2  foo.conf  >  foo.log        # run namd2 in foreground, and write the running informations to file 'foo.log'
(3) namd2  foo.conf  |  tee  foo.log   # run namd2 in foreground, and write the running informations to either stdout or file 'foo.log'. This is useful when you not sure weather the job would run all right.
(4) Adding '&' to the end of each command above, you will run it in background.

Some other process operating commands in *nix are:^C,^Z,top,ps,bg,fg et al.
