I have the MEAN stack Ubuntu setup. I have nginx set up and redirecting the port 80 request to localhost port 3000. When I run the grunt command in the /opt/mean/ folder it works fine, the website loads etc.
The question is, how do I leave this to run as a background process? As at the moment once I close my terminal window the grunt task is ended.
Any help is much appreciated :)
