build job running forever when executing a script to start tomcat service

Summary

build job keep running when executing a script to start tomcat service. 3600 seconds later the execution failed because it took too long.

I want the service to start running in the background,and build success instead of running.

I tried several methods have failed.How can I achieve this .

mypurpose is to achieve hot deployment after code in gitlab repository changes.

Steps to reproduce

my .gitlab-ci.yml quite simple , as below

stages:
  - test

job_deploy:
  stage: test
  script:
    - sudo nohup java -jar /home/gitlab-runner/test.jar &
    - exit

Actual behavior

QQ截图20170314103001 tomcat started and hang-up, but the gitlab ci didn't receive an end signal then running forerver. As you can see, I did the exit command, but the building did not end.

I tried to modify my script as below

  - sudo nohup java -jar /home/gitlab-runner/test.jar 1>/home/gitlab-runner/temp 2>&1 & 
  - exit

Build as expected ended, but the service does not really started. 123

open debug model: # gitlab-ci-multi-runner --debug run some error occurred. 321

Expected behavior

I want the service to start running in the background,and build success instead of running and gitlab CI build success. I don't know how to solve, can only come here for help.
