boot doesn't seem to be reading my ./boot.properties how can I verify this?

Trying to set BOOT_JVM_OPTIONS='-Dclojure.server.repl="{:port 5555 :accept clojure.core.server/repl}"' there, but it doesn't seem to work

oh, maybe this doesn't make sense to do it this way...

I see the socket-server task

but it isn't working

it prints Socket server started on port 5555 on host 127.0.0.1. and exits

ok, adding wait task at the end of my command line solved it

boot socket-server -p 5555 -a clojure.core.server/repl wait
