Make JMeter run in background

Question

How to make JMeter (running remotely from another machine) run in background so that when I turn off my PC (and thus kill the putty shell), it will still continue running?

Answer 1

Use below command to run Jmeter in the background:

nohup ./jmeter.sh -n -t test.jmx &

when you run above command a file nohup.out will be created in the same folder and it will store the console output.
