Myself got the answer. i did link between node and nodejs by:- sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs

I am using forever with my project. What do these options do: minUptime spinSleepTime I didn't understand from GitHub page. Forever's documentation explains each briefly : --minUptime Minimum uptime (millis) for a script to not be considered "spinning" --spinSleepTime Time to wait (millis) between launches of a spinning script. A "spinning" application is one that keeps failing/crashing shortly after a restart. --minUptime sets the minimum amount of time that an application is expected to run. If it crashes before that limit, it's considered to be " spinning " or problematic. --spinSleepTime

I am trying to write a launchd.plist file for my node server. I am using forever to run my node server. I would like the server to start on boot. I would also like to wait for the mongodb launchd plist to run first. I installed mongobb using homebrew and it came with a launchd.plist already. I have executed the following: $ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist plist for mongodb is: <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>homebrew.mxcl.mongodb</string

I am looking to daemonize my Node.js application. What's the difference between upstart and forever? Also, are there other packages I might want to considering looking at? As pointed out in the comments, upstart will be used to start the forever script, since upstart has hooks for system events (like shutdown and startup of your server). The other differences are: Upstart was developed for Linux, while forever is platform-independent. Forever is specific to nodejs, and has some pretty cool features with regards to restarting your server after it crashes, and logging. Forever is sufficient for

Two questions: Is there a Python equivalent to forever.js to run a Python process in the background without requiring sudo? Is it possible to use forever.js with Python? How about with a virtualenv? It is easy to use Python with forever.js: forever start -c python python_script.py To use it with virtualenv is a little bit more complicated, I did it using a bash script (call it python_virtualenv ): #!/bin/bash # Script to run a Python file using the local virtualenv source bin/activate bin/python $@ Now use that script with forever: forever start -c ./python_virtualenv python_script.py I was

I am using forever to run my node application. When I start forever I specify where to write the logs. I also specify to append to the log. Problem here is that my log is going to grow out of control over the course of months. Is there any way to archive/roll logs on an interval, i.e. every day roll/archive what is in the log file to another file (i.e. server-2013-3-5.log). That way I can delete/move off old log files as needed. I have just started looking into using Winston for my logger and I have not come across anything there that would help. Any ideas? mak forever itself doesn't support

The command I run on my server to start my node app is: sudo IS_PROD=1 node app.js I have forever installed but can't seem to pass in the environment variable. sudo IS_PROD=1 forever node app.js Doesn't seem to do the trick. I have tried several varieties of this. How do I either execute this command successfully or permanently set the environment variable? First of all you should skip the node thing in you command, it should not be there, you should not be able to execute that. forever automatically starts your script using nodejs . Instead you should do like this; sudo IS_PROD=1 forever app

I am just tired of seeing my server goes down every time off and on.. Whenever I wake up it is down. Every time I have to go to SSH and then run forever restartall to restart my node app :( I looked into the log file of forever and it says this error: Forever detected script was killed by signal: SIGKILL error: Script restart attempt #1 I have absolutely no idea why is this happening. I am even running a cron job after every 50 minutes to auto restart node js in case it went down itself 0,50 * * * * * forever restartall My app is running on Ubuntu EC2 AWS. And I use the following command to
