how I can start lein ring server in background?

Question

Now what I do is:

$ lein ring server &

Then what I see is: [1]+ Stopped lein ring server. Then I'm trying to use:

$ fg 1

And also see that it's stopped. What do I do wrong and how can I run ring as a background process?

Yep - it's misprint, sorry. I'm using your variant. – Voluntarism

what shell are you using? – Luwian

$ /bin/bash I think =) "nohup" in answers below simple and useful - it's working! – Voluntarism

Answer 1

As lein simply launches a Java process, this answer of course does not apply to ring/leiningen only.

The simplest way might be to use one of the following Linux/UNIX utilities (and some more as well):

• screen
• detachtty
• nohup
