How to prevent Spring MVC application to shutdown after closing the terminal?

I have a Spring MVC application that runs with the normal SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); statement. When I run it and then close the terminal window, it kills the process. How can I prevent it from shutting down when I close the terminal window?

I'm using OSX 10.9, Mavericks.

Thank you very much.

As Dave Syer says, you're best to use the nohup command which will prevent the child process from hanging up when the terminal window closes.

For example:

nohup java -jar name.jar 2>&1 >output.log &

That will send both the standard out and standard error to the output.log file. You can omit the >output.log and nohup will use the default log file called nohup.out.
