a quick solution is, run the screen first.

Hello,
my node.js simple http server goes offline as soon as I logout of my
ubuntu
shell.
How do I keep it alive 24/7?
@Angelo Chen:
Clearly the person in question does not understood what you said.
@jeeee:
When you ran your http server in your shell, it was attached to the
shell. This is not node.js related. You have to find a way of running
your server detached from your shell. One possible way is running
screen program. Warning: this might get confusing
Installing screen:
sudo apt-get install screen
man screen
(read it until you're more or less confortable)
Creating a screen:
screen
(or)
screen -S <some_name>
(both will get you inside a screen)
Get out of a screen (leaving it running 24/7):
Ctrl+a (and then) d (which means detach)
Listing running screens:
screen -ls
Reopening a screen (that you detached early):
screen -dr <id_from_the_previous_command>
(or)
screen -dr <some_name>
(-dr = detach anyone in the screen and reattach screen on my shell)
Close a screen:
Just stop anything you have running in the screen and exit
the shell by typing exit or Ctrl+d
There is a lot more you can do but I advise you to read some from the
man page, then play with it and then come back to the man page.
