This is incorrect, screen allows you to partition a console but will not
guarantee your service is automatically started at boot time or restarted
if it fail.
As Ryan said, it depends what OS are you targeting. The way you do services
in ubuntu is with upstart. You put an script under /etc/init/your-app.conf :
description "your-app"
author "you"
setuid some-user
start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0)
stop on shutdown
respawn
respawn limit 15 5
script
exec >>/var/log/$UPSTART_JOB.log 2>&1
echo starting\ $UPSTART_JOB\ `date`
cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/your-app
NODE_ENV=production CONFIG_FILE="/etc/your-app.json" npm start
end script
You can store your application in any path, usually /opt, the one i used
for this example assumes you install your-app as a global node module.
This will redirect stdout and stderr to /var/log/your-app.log, make sure
you create a logrotate rule.
It also assumes you have some sort of config file in /etc/your-app.json.
Then the service will be started when booting the OS, and restarted if it
fails.
You can also start/stop/restart manually as follows:
service your-app stop/start/restart
If you symlink /etc/init/your-app.conf to /etc/init.d/your-app, you will
get also tab-completion in bash when writing service yo.
Every SO has a different way of doing this :
-
initng
-
launchd
-
upstart
-
Service Management Facility
-
systemd
-
OpenRC
-
runit
-
daemontools
to name a few.
