The easiest way of running a python script to run in the background is to use cronjob feature (in macOS and Linux). In windows, we can use Windows Task Scheduler.
To run Python scripts as a background process on Linux or Mac, we use the & operator at the end of the command, which will make it run as a background process.
I need to make static website. So I connected via ssh to some local server, where I want to make a static website. Then I used python to make it work:
$ python -m http.server 55550
But if I close terminal, then python program is terminated. I want to shut down my computer, but I want to let this process running on that local server, so other people could still access that website.
How can I do this? After that, how should I terminate that process later?
Thanks for any help
