Bash script to start java spring boot application from SSH

I have a simple bash script file, which is triggered from pipeline job ( via SSH ). The **deploy.sh** contains more or less something like this: cd /apps && java -jar "-Dspring.profiles.active=prod " "-Dserver.port=$PORT " \ "/apps/$DEPLOYING_VERSION" & And some other logic which is not so important. The pipeline via SSH executes: bash /deploy.sh ${APPLICATION_NAME} How to start **deploy.sh** in order the java -jar to be executed and separated from the **deploy.sh** in order my pipeline (job) to finish and in the same time, the java app to continue working on the machine? I tried with cd /apps && nohup java -jar "-Dspring.profiles.active=prod " "-Dserver.port=$PORT " \ "/apps/$DEPLOYING_VERSION" & But the job stuck... It will be cool to track and the exit from the java -jar, but it is not so important right now :)
