What you're trying to do is bad practice to begin with. You shouldn't be
running Play in production from the Play console regardless of whether
you're using Windows or Linux. It is much better to do "play dist" and then
invoke directly with the Java command. On Linux I use Supervisor<http://supervisord.org/>to run in the background. On Windows you could run as a service or behind a
proxy as you mentioned. We do these things on Linux as well. We run our app
on Linux with a high port number so that administrator privileges are not
required to launch it.
