Adapt Learning Community: Keeping Adapt running when closing a connection

Hi.

I have managed to install Adapt onto an Amazon EC2 Instance running Amazon Linux. Whilst I am remotely logged onto the machine through smarTTY, Adapt works perfectly. When I terminate the connection Adapt stops working.

I have tried to keep Adapt running in the background using "&", "bg" and "nohup" but this causes problems for the Adapt instance to run Grunt and I get errors when previewing, or adding graphic components to the course.

How do I keep Adapt running properly when i close my SSH connection to the server?

It looks like i have found a solution.

If you run the "Node Server" command in a Screen then the process still continues when you log out.

Details on screen can be found here:

More info is here:

Basically from the terminal command line type:

Screen and press enter
Run the node command to get the Adapt server up and running
Press Ctrl + A, D to get out of the screen.
