title: How to maintain command after exiting SSH?
body: <p>I am using PuTTy to run a node.js server on a shared host (cPanel). My question is whether it is possible to maintain a command even after I completely close PuTTy? My issue is that when I for example type 'nohup node server.js &amp;' and my server runs successfully, the moment I close down PuTTy, my node server goes down again. I would love it if there was a way to continously have my node server running even after exiting PuTTy completely or even shutting down my computer.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the following things:<br/>
  - nohup (as seen above), however that does not maintain the connection after I close down PuTTy.<br/>
  - forever.js however still same issue as nohup.</p>
  
  <p>Appreciate all the help I can get.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Just to clarify, my issue is not that I want the process to run in the background. My issue is whether it is possible to run the process even while my computer is shut down. It seems weird that I have to keep my PC on in order for the server process to continue, even though I'm using hosting.</p>
