Run a persistent process via ssh

Question

I\'m trying to start a test server via ssh but it always dies once i disconnect from ssh.

Is there a way to start a process (run the server) so it doesn\'t die upon

Answer 1

As an alternative to nohup, screen, et al. you could revise your server to invoke daemon to detach it from the terminal. This is the idiomatic way to write services for linux.

See also daemon(3).
