BJ , Well, we are getting closer I guess. When I used your command, the terminal opened, started the server, but after 1 sec it closed itself before moving on to the next command. I feel this is what has been happening all along. It is not that the server is not starting, instead, it is getting closed the moment it is pushed to the background. I checked if it was running in the background with fuser 8081/tcp. Nope, it is closed.
