simple react works with npm start but not with nohup npm start &

Question

I tested with a simple app generated by

npx create-react-app myfirstreact

It works fine with

npm start

but if I try to run it in the background with

   nohup npm start &

I get

Starting the development server...

events.js:174 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^

Error: EBADF: bad file descriptor, read Emitted 'error' event at: at lazyFs.read (internal/fs/streams.js:165:12) at FSReqWrap.wrapper [as oncomplete] (fs.js:467:17) npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR!

Hi. Thank you for your reply. I tried them just now. The accepted solution I thin kdoesn't apply to me, since this simple app only uses imports. Would I need to put __dirname on the imports? Here are some of my other attempts: jglickman@devapp01:~/git/test/myfirstreact$ node src/App.js /home/jglickman/git/test/myfirstreact/src/App.js:1 import React from 'react'; ^^^^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier — Joshua Glickman

Did you tried other solutions? like running in parenthesis and running it like nohup node server.js </dev/null — AhmerMH

I believe this is because there is no such file as server.js :) — Joshua Glickman

Try running it like this:

nohup node scripts/start.js

I think this post will help too.
