I always use:
echo TEST | idl >> test.out
This works for me since test.pro is compiled automatically and on my
system idl exits after running test when it is called this way.
But the main reason for me to reply is that you might be interested in
the 'screen' command. This can be used to log out while your programs
keep running. Unlike the nohup command, you can open the original shell
again later. So you could start an idl session at work, close the
terminal, go home and continue working sitting in your lazy chair.
I must admit I've never tried it, but I've read about it here:

Here is a short script called run_test that runs the IDL program TEST
in the background:
#!/bin/tcsh
#To run use:
#nohup run_test &
(echo .run tes ; \
echo TEST ; \
echo exit) | \
idl >>test.out
This particular program uses t-shell, but similar things
work in other shells. You can queue up whatever IDl commands you
want with echo and then pipe them to idl. You can even pass
arguments to the IDL program from the command line
this way. Output is redirected to test.out. You can logout
after starting the job.
