Run Node.js App as Ubuntu Upstart Service

###The Issue With Forever Forever is great for running node services, with a minor setback: the word "forever" doesn't apply to system reboots.

###The solution, run node apps as a system service logged in as root

vim /etc/init/node-app.conf

                Automatically establish ssh tunnel to remote postgresql db server on boot, and auto re-establish if connection is lost (eg reboot of remote machine or network failure). Requires autossh.

                generate an ~/.ssh/config file from your EC2 instances, so that you'd never have to lookup those fugly ec2-xx-xx-xx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com hostnames again. Use your instance name instead!
