[jetty-user] Run Embedded Jetty Server in Background on Linux

Hello,

I'm using a ssh session on a Linux server to start an Embedded Jetty Server
to run a web application that exposes web services. When I use the java
-jar start.jar to bring up the Jetty web server instance I don't have
access to the command line in that session and must open up a new ssh
session in order to run a command line application that invokes the web
services running on the jetty instance. Is there any way to run jetty in
the background and in the same ssh session have access to the command line?
Thanks for reading!
