The loadUI Agent does not run as a daemon, out of the box. This means that when you start it by running just the .sh script, it will run as a foreground process, showing you the output in the terminal. By using the command "loadUI-agent.sh" > /dev/null 2>& or simmilar, you are manually redirecting the output and backgrounding the process. This works for any linux command, but to end the process you will have to use the kill command. There are other tools to help managing process, like dtach or screen, which allow you run a foreground process in the background and later reconnect to it. I would suggest using one of them when running the agent.
You can also add a request to our feature request forum for the ability to run the agent as a daemon.
