How to start C Program on Server to run in background

I have programmed a C program and tested it on my linux computer.

I have uploaded it to my server now and want it to run there the entire time as a background progress.

How is it possible to start a program which will continue to run after i close putty?

Thanks for any help!

Solution

  • you can leave the program running by adding a & to the call

    So when you have been executing your code before like this in SSH:

    ./mycode

    you would to it like:

    ./mycode &
