Log out of command line without shuting down the server

[alidar]

Hi
I am accessing a linux server remotely from my putty. I started the server and now I want to close the command line. when I do cntr+c or cntr+z it kills my server aswell. how will I close my terminal without closing my server? I tried cntr +d but it is not doing anything

Thanks

run process in background using '&' after command, for example

run_server_command &

But if your do Logout from system, all current processes owned by you will be killed. You could try to run it under another user using 'sudo'.

I would use nohup <command>.
Take a look at the man pages.
