How to run mongod in the background on Linux

[Rafi B.]

Hi,
I'm a Windows user, and I'm trying to deploy my website which is using
MongoDB of course :) When I logon the server in ssh and run ./
mongod if I exit with CTRL+C or close PuTTy, mongod stops running.
Can somebody please help out a dumb Windows user ? :(

The server I'm running mongod is Redhat.

--fork with --logpath should do it

Thanks Eliot! Works perfect. And I just found it under "Running as a
daemon" at http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Starting+and+Stopping+Mongo
I feel like such a newbie.

Thanks so much for your help though!

Can you recommend on a bash script to put in the rc.d (is it
rc.d? :)),
to automatically start MongoDB + repair the database if there was a
crash ?

there are startup files for various distros
what distro are you using?

Eliot, is there a startup file for CentOS (64bit)?

I saw on the mailing list a sample from last year that uses nohup, but
mongo has changed since then -- e.g., we have the --fork option now.

You can see whats in the rpm directory.
But this case will depend on getting those cleaned up:
http://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-534

Thanks for the pointer. Maybe these will be ready sometime soon since
Peter Halliday volunteered to fix them up.
