It is not play related. It is about how to start any other java / shell application in the background.

It is already answered for example here: How to run a shell script in the background and get no output

As @Micahl mentioned it's not play related but any script running on linux. nohup is your friend. read more here

nohup ./scorpio -Dhttp.port=10000 >/dev/null 2>&1

make sure the application logging is configured properly to a file as the above command will redirect all stdout to /dev/null.

If you are running play app in production I am recommending to build a system package with sbt-native-packager. Builded packages use system level services to run app in background, have proper configuration and have convenient versioning tools.
