nohup run nodejs
To run a Node.js application using nohup, follow these steps:
Open your terminal or command prompt.
Navigate to the directory where your Node.js application is located using the
cd
command. For example, if your application is in the "myapp" folder, you would typecd myapp
.Once you are in the correct directory, you can run the Node.js application using the
nohup
command followed by thenode
command and the name of your application file. For example, if your application file is named "app.js", you would typenohup node app.js
.Press Enter to execute the command. Your Node.js application will start running in the background.
You will see a message indicating that the process has started, along with a process ID (PID) assigned to it.
You can close your terminal or command prompt without affecting the running Node.js application.
Note: The nohup
command is used to run a command immune to hangups, meaning it allows the application to continue running even after the terminal or command prompt is closed.
That's it! Your Node.js application should now be running in the background using nohup.
