I’m using SSH to remotely launch Tornado on Amazon Web Service. It works fine when I launch it by:
python startTornado.py
However, after my SSH session times out or terminated, the Tornado server is also stopped immediately, so I can’t access the webpage anymore. I did quite some search but couldn’t find an answer on Google.
How can I keep Tornado and the site running after my SSH session terminated?
The process will shut down when you logout if it’s running in the foreground or if it tries to write to stdout and the terminal it’s outputting to no longer exists. Try starting the server with
The nohup command redirects output to a file, and the & at the end runs the command in the background. Alternatively, you can use the screen utility which allows you to detach a terminal and reattach it in a different ssh session (see the screen man page for details).
