Most appropriate method to persist a sbt process after exiting SSH session?

Question

How do I keep a process, specifically one spawned via the sbt command, alive after exiting my ssh session? The following related questions [1], [2], [3

Answer 1

It is even more common. Try to type sbt clean & or sbt compile &. Proccess is created but it won't finish.

Solution for your question by using tmxux:

tmux new -d -s $$ && tmux send -t $$ 'SHELL_COMMAND' ENTER

In your context SHELL_COMMAND = sbt -Dgeotrellis cluster_seed_ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

You can also use tmux behind byobu:

byobu new -d -s $$ && tmux send -t $$ 'SHELL_COMMAND' ENTER

After that if you type byobu then you enter session of your command.
