Node.js 学习（七）Node项目部署工具之forever

平常无论是使用命令行还是终端通过node app.js启动项目时,当命令行或终端关闭时项目也就随之关闭了;
forever则可以在cmd或ssh连接断开时,让项目一直运行,而且可以在项目崩溃时自动重启

安装forever,forever是npm中的一个包

sudo npm install -g forever

  [Long Running Process]
    The forever process will continue to run outputting log messages to the console.
    ex. forever -o out.log -e err.log my-script.js

  [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
