The server task only runs as long as it is needed, but you can keep it from quitting. From a comment by widget on another question: In your grunt.js file define a task named run that runs the tasks server and watch.

grunt.registerTask("run", "server watch");

The watch task runs indefinitely, so it prevents the server task from ending. Just make sure you also have a config for the watch task. Here it is all together in your grunt.js file:

module.exports = function (grunt) {
  // …
  grunt.initConfig({
    // …
    watch: {
      files: "",
      tasks: "lint qunit",
    },
    // …
  });

  grunt.registerTask("run", "server watch");
};

From the command line just type:

$ grunt run

The server will stay up and running.

Alternatively, as @NateBarr points out, from the command line you can run:

$ grunt server watch
