Unable to run nohup command from jenkins as a background process

Question

UPDATE: Based on below discussion I have edited my answer for more accurate description.

I am trying to run a nohup command from jenkins. The full command is

Answer 1

what worked for me was wrapping the nohup java -jar ... command into sh file inside execute shell command, and running that same sh file right after:

echo "starting java jar..."
cd [some location where jar is]
echo "nohup java -jar [jar_name].jar &" > start-jar-in-background.sh
sh start-jar-in-background.sh
echo "started java jar"

If I had nohup java -jar ... inline with Execute shell command, then it didn't start it from some reasons. I spent quite some time on this, hope it helps to someone ';)
