By default, Jenkins will kill all the spawned process at the completion of build.

To override this, you need to create environment variable BUILD_ID.

Go to Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure System.

Now under Global properties section, under Environment variables, click on ADD button to add new Environment variable. Give name=BUILD_ID and value=allow_to_run_as_daemon start_my_service
Click on save button. And you are done.

Now the spawn process will continue to execute even after the build got completed.
