I start Sidekiq with '&' so it should move on to executing the next command, so Sidekiq runs in the background.

examples how I doing it

to run sedekiq and redis-server in background

bundle exec sidekiq & redis-server --daemonize yes

bundle exec sidekiq & rails s

It is removed from the latest versions of Sidekiq to promote users to learn the newer, better ways. Here is the link to the discussion on the same.

The discussion suggested using a process supervisor like systemd, upstart, foreman, etc. to manage Sidekiq.

So you need to write your own service file to start, stop sidekiq. For the reference, here is the link to example service of sidekiq.

You didn't mention the operating system so I'll just go with ubuntu production VM. You're going to want to setup sidekiq with something like systemd or upstart. Sidekiq has some example configurations to get you started https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/tree/master/examples.

I haven't done this on a mac before, but a quick google and found this Start sidekiq automatically on OSX.

You may also think about using process manager like overmind which will help you manage multiple processes (for instance server and sidekiq) https://github.com/DarthSim/overmind

There are other tools around the web, this is my personal choice.
