Upstart env stanza not setting environment variables (like NODE_ENV) for Node.js application

Question

I have an Upstart script for my server that looks like this:

description \"myapp node.js server\"

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on shutdown

env NODE_ENV=pr         


        

Answer 1

visudo has a line to define environment variables to be kept.

sudo visudo

and add your env to:

Defaults        env_keep="YOUR_ENV ..."

and reboot.
