centos下 forever: 让nodejs应用后台执行

在LINUX中我们可以使用这种简单的方式让node.js在后台运行：

nohup node your_app.js &

forever可以让我们做得更好，并且可以跨平台的在windows和Linux下都能运行。

 

forever的安装：

npm install forever -g

 

forever的用法：
使用forever启动守护进程：

forever start your_app.js

关闭守护进程：

forever stop your_app.js

重启守护进程：：

forever restart your_app.js

如果需要记录输出日志和错误：

forever start -l forever.log -o out.log -e err.log your_app.js

查看正在运行的程序：

forever list
