Running node http in the background

This is something simple I needed to do, but had to dig around a bit to figure it out since I’m a Windows guy. I just wanted to run http-server as a background job in linux. 1 npm run server > http.log 2>&1 & Redirect stderr (the 2) to http.log, referred to by &1. The & at the end just means run in the background.
