usually, whenever you exit your SSH session, your active session will be killed. Using screen command will create a session that will not be killed even you closed your terminal / exit SSH. And you can do exactly what you usually do.

described in this link: https://github.com/ParsePlatform/parse-dashboard/issues/162

enter screen at SSH session.some instruction and info will display, dismiss it with spacebar. here you go, a new screen that will remain running even you exit your SSH session.you might run the following command:

cd /var/www/parse/parse-dashboard npm start --config some/path/to/parse-dashboard-config.json --allowInsecureHTTP=1
