Running GeoServer v 1.3.0 under Sun Solaris 8, the server process is associated with a specific terminal window, whichin which the processes are worked up and system and error messages are displayed. Closing this specific terminal window will terminate the processing and shutdown the GeoServer.
Is there a way to have GeoServer run silently ‘in the background’ on a UNIX server without any need to be logged in as root or user all the time and to have such a terminal window run continously. How will I have to initiate such a silent background mode processing of GeoServer? Is there any documentation for this?
Many thanks for your help and best regards,

On a Linux machine I start geoserver with "sh startup.sh&" and then logout.
Also, there are few logging level options that you can set via the web
interface.
You might also be interested in trying out screen:

It allows one to start a virtual terminal, exit it, and then reattach
to it from wherever (for example, a different machine).

I'm not sure if Solaris comes with this by default but you can use the 'nohup' command. So, for example, to start GeoServer with the Jetty servlet you would type, from the geoserver/bin directory:
nohup sh startup.sh servlet &
All of the usual output of this command gets sent to a file (nohup.out).
