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

$ 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) --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
