I write a shell script for starting two play framework application.

cd /someDirectory

activator "start -Dhttp.port=9001"

cd /anotherDirectory

activator "start -Dhttp.port=9002"

after running the shell script, running process sleeps after starting first application (because play framework stay in shell after start command until pressing Ctrl + D)

How can I say to activator release shell after starting?

Use any process manager you want :

  • screen
  • nohup
  • upstart
  • systemd
  • supervisord

BTW, if this is production, you might consider using the start script created when packaging your application.

Use nohupas follows nohup ./script &. It is also useful when starting applications from remote shell.
