MongoDB background indexing

If I execute a text index in the background on MongoDB. Will this continue to execute even when I log out of the server?

db.test.ensureIndex({"name" : "text", "lastName" : "text"}, { background: true })

Index creation on the DB is one time operation. You can confirm this by logging out off the shell and logging back in and query the indexes: db.test.getIndexes()

The mongo shell does not have to remain open once an index creation operation has been launched. The build will continue even if the shell is closed.
