OFBiz run in background stops working when exit terminal
Hi everyone. When I run
./gradlew "ofbizBackground —start"
On Centos Linux 7 on AWS EC2, OFBiz starts up and runs in the background just fine. However when I exit the terminal, the program terminates.
It was working a while ago and I could exit and the program would still run. Not sure what changed. Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks

Here's a couple you could use as a starting point. You'll want to add an
After= for the MySQL dependency.

Don't run it from a terminal. That's for testing. For production, run it
from systemd using a unit file. Perhaps someone has already written a unit
file.

Thanks for the reply. That didn’t seem to work either.
I will need this for a high availability production environment. Is it better to run OFBiz on my own installed Tomcat server, rather than the packaged one? I am already using MySQL Enterprise for the dbase.
Are there directions somewhere to setup OFBiz on a separate Tomcat server?

Perhaps the program was changed to honor the HUP signal, which is sent by
the controlling terminal process to all child processes when it exits.
Start OFBiz with nohup to keep the shell from sending HUP to it on exit.
