Hi !

I can't see anything relevant in those logs. However, running in the background involves many unix arcane details and usually just using & is not enough.

Hence, you may add this to your script:

set("init.daemon",false)

You may also need to add:

set("init.daemon.pidfile.path","/path/to/file.pid")
