[SOLVED] How do I SSH to a server starting a bash script that starts a java process, then disconnect from the server without killing the script?

Issue

So far (not working) my call looks like this:

ssh -tt -q ${SERVER} "sudo su -l ${USER} -c nohup ${SCRIPT_DIR}/Script.sh start < /dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &"

The meat of the script goes something like this:

case "$1" in
'start')
        echo 'Starting server.'
        $JAVA_HOME/java -Xmx1024m -jar myJarFile.jar &
        echo $!>$PID_FILE
        ;;
'stop')
        kill ${cat $PID_FILE}
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start | stop}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
exit 0

The stop side works (Slightly different, but start won't work that way either. I'd guess it works because it's just a quick kill). I've monkeyed around umpteen different ways on both sides of the equation. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks, Eric

Solution

No takers, guess I'll just move it to a service so it has its own shell...
