node.js processes with the same name in forever are closed when trying to close only one

Question

I am deploying two node.js apps on the aws, the two apps are in the paths shown as

/home/ubuntu/nodes/app1/app.js
/home/ubuntu/nodes/app2/app.js

Answer 1

You can use an uid (see here):

$ sudo forever --uid "app1" start app.js
$ sudo forever --uid "app2" start app.js

And to stop:

$ sudo forever stop app1

Update
The --uid option is deprecated. Now you can use the --pidFile option. Example:

forever start --pidFile /some/path/app1.pid app.js
forever start --pidFile /some/path/app2.pid app.js

And to stop:

forever stop --pidFile /some/path/app1.pid
