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

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.

-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
使用forever启动项目
forever start app.js
使用forever停止项目
forever stop app.js
列出所有通过forever管理的项目
forever list
监视项目中的文件,当文件有变动时重启项目
forever -w start app.js
