Week 11—Nohup?

Truly the Last Step for Uploading Your Website!!

So, now that we have our server up and running through SSH, you might be thinking, “what if we quit SSH and the connection stops?” Well, there is a solution to this! A simple command, which is commonly referred to as “nohup.”

While your server is running on your git bash, input the following command:

nohup puthon app.py &

This command keeps the app.py file running even when you quit git bash. If you want to close down the server, you can use the following method:

# Find the PID (Process ID) of the Python process
ps -ef | grep 'app.py'
# kill the process
kill -9 [PID]

Pretty simple, right?

Fin.
