Scala start Play server in production
playframework, playframework-2.0, scala
Solution
`nohup play start` works for me.
Problem
I have a Play 2.0 app deployed on EC2 and I start the app with `play start` and it runs in the background, I can hit `Ctrl-D` and the process will continue to run in the background but then it dies after a while (15 or 20 mins?), not sure why. I usually exit the ssh session after starting the app, I'm hoping that's not the reason.
