forever让nodejs应用后台执行
命令如下：
forever start './bin/www'

nodejs一般是当成一条用户命令执行的，当用户断开客户连接，运用也就停了，很烦人。如何让nodejs应用当成服务，在后台执行呢？
最简单的办法(不推荐)：
$ nohup node app.js &

但是，forever能做更多的事情，比如分别记录输出和错误日志，比如可以在js中作为api使用。
forever安装：
$ sudo npm install forever -g #安装 $ forever start app.js #启动 $ forever stop app.js #关闭 $ forever start -l forever.log -o out.log -e err.log app.js #输出日志和错误

$ forever --help usage: forever [action] [options] SCRIPT [script-options] Monitors the script specified in the current process or as a daemon actions: start Start SCRIPT as a daemon stop Stop the daemon SCRIPT by Id|Uid|Pid|Index|Script stopall Stop all running forever scripts restart Restart the daemon SCRIPT restartall Restart all running forever scripts list List all running forever scripts config Lists all forever user configuration set <key> <val> Sets the specified forever config <key> clear <key> Clears the specified forever config <key> logs Lists log files for all forever processes logs <script|index> Tails the logs for <script|index> columns add <col> Adds the specified column to the output in `forever list` columns rm <col> Removed the specified column from the output in `forever list` columns set <cols> Set all columns for the output in `forever list` cleanlogs [CAREFUL] Deletes all historical forever log files options: -m MAX Only run the specified script MAX times -l LOGFILE Logs the forever output to LOGFILE -o OUTFILE Logs stdout from child script to OUTFILE -e ERRFILE Logs stderr from child script to ERRFILE -p PATH Base path for all forever related files (pid files, etc.) -c COMMAND COMMAND to execute (defaults to node) -a, --append Append logs -f, --fifo Stream logs to stdout -n, --number Number of log lines to print --pidFile The pid file --uid Process uid, useful as a namespace for processes (must wrap in a string) e.g. forever start --uid "production" app.js forever stop production --sourceDir The source directory for which SCRIPT is relative to --workingDir The working directory in which SCRIPT will execute --minUptime Minimum uptime (millis) for a script to not be considered "spinning" --spinSleepTime Time to wait (millis) between launches of a spinning script. --colors --no-colors will disable output coloring --plain Disable command line colors -d, --debug Forces forever to log debug output -v, --verbose Turns on the verbose messages from Forever -s, --silent Run the child script silencing stdout and stderr -w, --watch Watch for file changes --watchDirectory Top-level directory to watch from --watchIgnore To ignore pattern when watch is enabled (multiple option is allowed) -t, --killTree Kills the entire child process tree on `stop` --killSignal Support exit signal customization (default is SIGKILL), used for restarting script gracefully e.g. --killSignal=SIGTERM -h, --help You're staring at it [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

由于express4.x后，目录结构变化，运行方式改变，在此备注。
