Answer

The most correct thing to do is to write a service file for it so whatever init system you have (likely systemd) will keep it running and manage the start/stop/restart stuff for you.

Failing that (and I don’t blame you…) you can run it within the screen utility. Launch it with screen -d -m /path/to/start/script and then you can come back later and reconnect to it with screen -r or screen -r <pid of the screen session>.

Note that launching it that way won’t restart it, etc. To do that, you could do something like

#!/bin/sh

while true
do
 sleep 3s
 /path/to/start/script
done

And call that with the screen command.
