Answer 1

Nohup will detach a process you run from your current console and let it continue when you close the terminal. Run something like this.

nohup java -jar my.jar &

By default it will pipe the output to nohup.out, so if you don’t want that you could try:

nohup java -jar my.jar > /dev/null &
