I came across a very similar issue trying to run a minecraft server on linux a few years back.

This is also a java program that needs terminal I/O. I got around the issue using gnu screen.

This is quite nice as you can give each screen a unique name and then later use "-X stuff" to jam keyboard input to the backgroup process like this:

Code:

screen -p 0 -S minecraft -X stuff "$(printf "%s\r" "say SERVER BACKUP STARTING...")"
