So I've tried googling and reading a few questions on here as well as elsewhere and I can't seem to find an answer.

I'm using Jenkins and executing a shell script to scp a .jar file to a server and then sshing in, running the build, and then exiting out of the server. However, I cannot get out of that server for the life of me. This is what I'm running, minus the sensitive information:

```
ssh root@x.x.x.x 'killall -9 java; nohup java -jar /root/project.jar -prod &; exit'

```

I've tried doing && exit, exit;, but none of it will get me out of the server and jenkins just spins for ever. So the Jenkins build never actually finishes.

Any help would be sweet! I appreciate it.
