title: Starting a netty application on a linux server
body: <p>I have written a little netty server application, packed in a jar file that I want to deploy on a linux server.</p>
  
  <p>Since I have no professional experience with deploying java applications, I was wondering if it is enough to start the netty server by doing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java -jar NettyServer.jar  NettyServer &amp;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Obviously a script could be created to ensure the correct user starts the process etc., but is this the way (stand-alone) java services is being deployed?</p>
  
  <p>It seems almost too easy, considering every other question/answer seems to mention some big hunky container-bean-glassfish-tomcat-whatnot (which I might consider later on if/when issues arise)</p>
