Running the process in the background is handled by the OS. In my 
preferred shell (bash) i simply do:

  cnee tons-of-args &

note the '&'


if you want to replay to another display, either do it the X way:

   export DISPLAY=host-to-replay-to:0
   cnee -tons-of-args

or do it using --display option

   cnee -tons-of-args --display host-to-replay-to:0

Not sure what you mean with display. I assume display is in X 
terminology. If so, yes you do need a display to replay to.

If you however want to automate stuff and not have a physical display I 
suggest you check out the beatiful program Xvfb.
