Unable to keep Selenium Server Running after Putty Close

[JohnDotOwl]

First, install the Selenium Server:

Download a distribution archive of Selenium Server. Unzip the distribution archive and copy selenium-server-standalone-2.9.0.jar (check the version suffix) to /usr/local/bin, for instance.

Start the Selenium Server server by running java -jar /usr/local/bin/selenium-server-standalone-2.9.0.jar.

I can let it run but when i close my putty, the server shuts down. Is it suppose to be that way? As in, does the code initialize the server when they need? or how do I find a way to keep it running?.

It's normal that by default a shell closes its children processes. There are several ways to detach the processes, like screen and nohup.
