Question

I’m running a service on a remote server using a packaged jar, the problem is when I end the ssh session it also kills the process’ including the service I need.

I played with this a year or so ago with a cron script but had no luck, any pointers would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to use the nohup command, this prevent the process from being hung up when the session ends.

nohup java -jar myjar.jar

Just thought I would add this, in reponse to to what Marvin Pinto said. You can also send the console output to a file like so:

nohup java -jar myjar.jar >> logfile.log 2>&1
