How to make multiple sessions in terminal on vps?

Question

ubuntu

Good day, I don’t know if I put the question correctly, but the problem is this. I decided to host the site on a VPS using node.js + mongodb. And after I start mongodb or node.js server, then you can't write anything in the terminal. How to solve this problem? Ubuntu Server 14.04

Answer 1

For example, you can start like this:
But it's better to use "services" (service mysql start will start mnogodb)

Answer 2

It is correct in this case to write an init script (or find a ready one).
In general - screen -R
ctrl-a , c = create a new terminal inside the screen
ctrl-a, [0-9] - switch between them
ctrl-a. d - "minimize" screen
Then you can return to it again with the command screen -R
