Forever daemonizes the processes, there is no need for screen. From the README:
actions: start Start SCRIPT as a daemon stop Stop the daemon SCRIPT stopall Stop all running forever scripts restart Restart the daemon SCRIPT restartall Restart all running forever scripts list List all running forever scripts ... [Daemon] The forever process will run as a daemon which will make the target process start in the background. This is extremely useful for remote starting simple node.js scripts without using nohup. It is recommended to run start with -o -l, & -e. ex. forever start -l forever.log -o out.log -e err.log my-daemon.js forever stop my-daemon.js (bold added by me). I use this in production and it works fine. -Chad From: nodejs@googlegroups.com [mailto:nodejs@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of rhasson Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 11:22 AM To: nodejs@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [nodejs] Forever with ssh use "screen" On Tuesday, October 16, 2012 10:24:40 AM UTC-4, Chad Engler wrote: Just use: > forever start <script> And see what is running: > forever list And stop a script: > forever stop <index_or_script_name> -Chad -----Original Message----- From: nod...@googlegroups.com <javascript:> [mailto:nod...@googlegroups.com <javascript:> ] On Behalf Of William Myers Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 2:53 AM To: nod...@googlegroups.com <javascript:> Subject: [nodejs] Forever with ssh Is that a way to run forever in an ssh connection so that it continues to run even after the connection has been severed? Currently, I have only had success with $ nohup node app.js however I would like to use forever and thought that it could be used like a daemon tool to keep a process going. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
