Keep play application running after putty terminal closed
How to keep play application running after putty terminal closed? After deploying play application in to server, I ssh'ed into server with putty terminal and ran the play application. However, once I close the putty terminal, play application no longer accepts http requests from client. To start the play application I used following command; ./{myplayapp}/bin/{executable} -Dhttp.port=8000 use screen to start your application. view existing screens with "screen -ls" and switch between them with "screen -r" http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/screen I would recommend nohup : nohup ./script -Dhttp.port
