Run flask application on linux server with nohup
Question:
I am trying to run my flask application on my linux server using nohup , but each time i run my flask application with nohup , my server will require me to kill with cntrl + c in order for me to do other things
assuming i have 2 file in my server
path(home/app/)
- flask_app.py [ which is my flask application ]
- flk.sh
inside my run.sh i have included
nohup python /home/app/flask_app.py
when i run my shell script in my server which is sh flk.sh
my system will hang as per shown in below image if i dont exit it as its running and all activity will go inside nohup.out
how can i run nohup on my flask application without me having to use cntrl + c to exit to run other commands.
Answers:
You usually want to use nohup command arg1 arg2 &. You’re just missing the ampersand.
Briefly, nohup prevents the OS from killing your job, & sends the job in the background, so it isn’t tied to your current shell.
