Starting a node program so it keeps running without interactive jobs staying open.

I have developed a "hello world" web server using JavaScript and NodeJS. I am starting the web server using interactive sessions. I open a 5250 session, then open an interactive qshell session, then run the following command:

node /mydirectory/sample.js

When the "hello world" web server is running, there are three jobs active:
1. My interactive 5250 session.
2. The qshell interpreter (QZSHSH)
3. A job that appears to be the node program (QP0ZSPWT).

But when I end the qshell session the node program (the QPOZSPWT job) also ends. So my "hello world" web server is no longer running.

How do I get my "hello world" web server to run in NodeJS without me having to leave an interactive qshell session open?

Thanks,
