You can use nohup to keep the program running if the Terminal is closed:

nohup ./a.out 8888 &

(Standard output/error will be written to nohup.out instead of the Terminal.)

On terminal execute the script ending with &.

A task can usually be started and run as a background task by putting a '&' at the end of the command line.
