how I can start lein ring server in background?

Question

Now what I do is:

$ lein ring server &

Then what I see is: [1]+ Stopped lein ring server. Then I'm trying to use:

$ fg 1

And also see that it's stopped. What do I do wrong and how can I run ring as a background process?

• detachtty
• nohup
