forever nodejs

forever

Forever works now on windows, I currently use it.

Just do:

npm install forever -g

and to run it, assuming you're in the app.js directory:

(sudo) forever -c node -w app.js

The -w is for watcher, optional.

Example of watcher configuration:

File .foreverignore:

# Avoid to restart the server when using forever on some file changes.

# General
**/.idea/**
**/.git/**

# Sails specifics
**/.tmp/**
**/views/**
**/assets/**
**/languages/**
**/documentation/**
**/logs/**

# Restart only when js and json files are changed.
!*.js*

# But don't restart on .map regeneration.
*.js.map
