I am experiencing weird behavior with forever, which I want to use to keep alive my node app.
I want to run my forever processes as my regular user lwood, not as root.
I need to know how to run forever properly within root mode, but as the user lwood. (This is needed because, for example as a special case, upstart scripts run as root.)
These commands illustrate my problem (I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, and $ is regular user and # is root):
$ su
[type in su password]
# cd /home/lwood/myapp
# sudo -u lwood forever -a -l "/home/lwood/myapp/logfile.log" start app.js
info: Forever processing file: app.js
# forever list
info: No forever processes running
# exit
$ forever list
info: No forever processes running
So forever successfully started, yet no processes are running under neither lwood nor root!
How can I fix this problem?
If you're using upstart, try this (putting it to your upstart script)
exec su -s /bin/sh -c 'exec "$0" "$@"' username -- /usr/local/bin/forever ...
