fsck and reboot at certain time, but able to log out of ssh session and not kill it

So if I want to do a fsck and restart on a RHEL server, it looks like I need to do

touch /forcefsck
shutdown -r 03:00

But do I need to do a
shutdown -r 03:00 &
or something so I can close my SSH session through Putty, without killing the scheduled reboot?

tune2fs with -c and -C to set fsck requirements
cron for the scheduling

Right. I was talking more about a one-time deal, and it seems that the & is needed at the end of the shutdown command.
