I have a page which supports some kind of mail notificiation. When user inserts some data, I want to send mail to another. I know, Mail::send() works perfectly, but it is slow. So I want to push this mail to queue. I use iron.io as provider. Everything works perfectly until I close console.

So is it possible to run php artisan queue:listen forever after I close console on Win and Linux?

You can run every process in the background in linux by using nohup

nohup php artisan queue:listen

This will keep the process running even if you close your terminal, nohup will force to ignore hangup signals.

nohup creates a logfile. If you want to suppress this, you can add

 >/dev/null 2>&1 &

after your command

Thank you, this helped a lot, also with this answer stackoverflow.com/questions/24646320/…
Consider monitoring this with something like supervisord too.
You're welcome! You can ignore what nohup is telling you and close everything. You could build some kind of checkup if the process is still running, though it's quite reliable
I do not have root user of cmd, so when I set nohup command and then close the terminal, the queue stops. The command or process is not running in background as expected. My question is, using non root user could be the issue here?
