forever使用小结

 npm install forever -g   #安装

-g表示全局安装

forever命令语法及使用 https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever

There are two ways to use forever: through the command line or by using forever in your code.

If you are using forever programatically you should install forever-monitor.

 $ cd /path/to/your/project
  $ [sudo] npm install forever-monitor

(1) command line 用法：run scripts continuously (whether it is written in node.js or not).

forever start app.js

$ 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            DEPRECATED. Process uid, useful as a namespace for processes (must wrap in a string)
                     e.g. forever start --uid "production" app.js
                         forever stop production
    --id             DEPRECATED. Process id, similar to uid, useful as a namespace for processes (must wrap in a string)
                     e.g. forever start --id "test" app.js
                         forever stop test
    --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

forever start -l forever.log -o out.log -e err.log my-daemon.js
        forever stop my-daemon.js

还有一种方式是把config写json里，

.
├── forever
│   └── development.json
└── index.js

// forever/development.json
{
	// Comments are supported
    "uid": "app",
    "append": true,
    "watch": true,
    "script": "index.js",
    "sourceDir": "/home/myuser/app"
}

$ forever start ./forever/development.json

或者

 forever start /home/myuser/app/forever/development.json

JSON configuration files can also be used to define the startup options for multiple applications, as shown below.

[
  {
    // App1
    "uid": "app1",
    "append": true,
    "watch": true,
    "script": "index.js",
    "sourceDir": "/home/myuser/app1"
  },
  {
    // App2
    "uid": "app2",
    "append": true,
    "watch": true,
    "script": "index.js",
    "sourceDir": "/home/myuser/app2",
    "args": ["--port", "8081"]
  }
]

（2）用在code中，这个我暂时没用。先到此为止
