Starting the Python SimpleHTTPServer and keeping it running even after logging out
Raw
gistfile1.txt
Below is a command I used to start the Python provided SimpleHTTPServer in a session and have it running even after I logout.
I found this command on the web and found it quite useful. This work is attributed to that original author.
The command will run a python based webserver on port 8000 of the host on which it was called.
screen -d -m python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
