Java Jar running on remote ubuntu server

I'm running a service on a remote server using a packaged jar, the problem is when I end the ssh session it also kills the process' including the service I need.

I played with this a year or so ago with a cron script but had no luck, any pointers would be appreciated.

You need to use the nohup command, this prevent the process from being hung up when the session ends.

nohup java -jar myjar.jar

Just thought I would add this, in reponse to to what Marvin Pinto said. You can also send the console output to a file like so:

nohup java -jar myjar.jar >> logfile.log 2>&1

I usually use a screen session for when I need to run similar long-running operations on remote machines.

It becomes easy to join or detach the session whenever I log in or out of the server. The added bonus is that it saves all the stdout/stderr output for when you get back.

Might need more specifics, but in general I think you'll want to look in to nohup or daemonising the process to detach it from the parent shell process.
