Can Node.js server only exist in the cmd window? And everything will be gone when cmd window is shut?

Question

Is it somewhat inconvenient in contrast with running as a service of the OS, which seems more stable and non-fragile?

I’m sorry I just begin to explore Node.js. I know Node.js is certainly great, I’m just not familiar with it. So excuse me for this maybe stupid question.

There's a service-ize tool named forever, then the node.js app will keep running even after you quit from cmd.
