Bug running in background
to run any script in the background use the operator '&'

Usage: server.sh & nohup

The nohup needs to go before the command. You might also want to take care to redirect output to a file (otherwise it goes to nohup.out)

Code:
nohup server.sh >server.out 2>&1 &

Any introductory Unix text should explain this.

Not. But you don't really have to ask; try it.

Code:
vnix$ sleep 1 & nohup
nohup: missing operand 
Try 'nohup --help' for more information.

(This is bash; if you have a different shell, its output will likely be different.)

Try

$nohup server.sh / &
