I'm using .war file to run jenkins on my server. They say use

java -jar jenkins.war

(Source: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Starting+and+Accessing+Jenkins) to start the server. This starts the server and shows log on screen and it is ready to use.

The only problem is when I "ctrl+c" it stops the server. I want that it should start in the background so that even though I exit from putty it should be running. I know if use native package ".deb" it will be installed as service but I want to do it using only ".war" file and not as native package ".deb". Is it even possible?

nohup java -jar jenkins.war &
