screen or tmux are invaluable for programming in the terminal. both for opening more than one shell in a session, and for not accidentally closing a session just because you accidentally closed the window or lost connection. Check this out.
Shit tmux looks awesome. I’ve currently only really used screen while hosting a Minecraft server but I kept accidentally closing the process when trying to check if it’s still active lol.
I still do 99% of my coding of windows but this is tempting.
Yeah, running as a service is generally better as it auto restarts it the machine reboots but daemonizing just means having it run without a shell attached I believe

Another option for Minecraft is daemonizing the process (ctrl+X in terminal, bg, then some command to disown it from your shell that I can’t remember)
Is this different from it running as a service?
