    <p>I've been setting up my server recently and today I had to restart it... then I realised all of my Node apps I had running weren't running anymore. I'm using Node Forever module to keep the apps running, but then I realised I still need to have them starting when my server restarts or shut downs and powers up again.</p> <p>I have been researching the best way to do this, but what I'm trying just doesn't seem to work. I've created an Upstart script in my <code>/etc/init/</code> folder on my Ubuntu Server 10.04LTS remote server and tried restarting and it doesn't seem to do anything. Nothing is getting listed when I run <code>forever list</code>.</p> <p>Here is my current Upstart script I was trying out today:</p> <pre><code>#/etc/init/myapp.conf start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0) stop on shutdown script exec sudo /usr/local/bin/node /var/www/myapp/myapp.forever.js end script </code></pre> <p>I use Forever in a Node script as I find it easier to configure it how I want. It's confirmed that the script runs just fine if I do this outside the script, there is just something wrong with the Upstart script itself. It seems to have the same permissions as all the other Upstart scripts in <code>/etc/init/</code> folder.</p> <p>As an additional note, I have gone through almost all the answers I could find here on StackOverflow, and that it how I got together the script that I have at present.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>With Tom's answer, I have now tried:</p> <pre><code>#/etc/init/myapp.conf start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0) stop on shutdown exec sudo /usr/local/bin/node /var/www/myapp/myapp.forever.js </code></pre> <p>But it's still not working.</p> <p>So I don't know why this isn't running when I restart my server. Please help!</p>

    1. COWhy do you use Forever at all? I run node executable directly via Upstart and it works and restarts just fine.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
