I worked with the valid answer for a while but some times the screen just end with no reason also screen has no balance loader and others features that in a production enviroment you should care , Currently I use a npm component to do this job.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/pm2

This is so easy to use.

$ npm install pm2 -g

then just start your app with pm2 like this

$ pm2 start app.js
