Forever-launched scripts on EC2 quit immediately when I exit SSH.

Sorry, but Forever-launched scripts quit instantly when I close my terminal window onto Amazon's EC2. Nohup-launched scripts stay running. Any idea what's up?

Thanks for an amazing piece of work, by the way!

How are you running the script(s)? If you launch something like so:

  forever myscript.js

Then it is by design that it would exit when you exit SSH because that is a long running process and not a daemon. The correct usage would be:

  forever start myscript.js

Let me know if that fixes it for you.

Yep, that's it. Never mind. :)

Ok, cool. Had me worried for a second.
