Running archpro in background on UNIX® systems

Question & Answer


Question

You want to run the archpro as a background process to keep it running, even if the cssap user has logged off.

Answer

To keep the archpro executable running after a user logs off, you need to use the nohup command. The nohup command redirects all screen output to nohup.out by default. To decrease memory usage, it is recommended to redirect the screen output to /dev/null on production systems. To do this, use the following command:

nohup archpro > /dev/null &

After executing this command, you can log off safely while the archpro executable keeps running.

If you want to view the screen output of an already running archpro executable, you can use the archadmin command:

archadmin -p <ARCHPRO_PORT>

The archadmin command starts a process that redirects the screen output of the archpro to the current terminal. You can stop this process using the CTRL + C keys.
