Answer 1

For Linux Use terminal and enter in superuser mode, and try these code

$ nohup node  &
$ exit

Note: This '&' is must before you press enter

or for npm command, just goto the location by cd command where your package.json is stored. Then

$ nohup npm start &
$ exit

Note: This '&' is must before you press enter

To stop it

$ top

You can see process id here, then use following code

$ kill -9
