The web server probably shouldn't spawn long-running processes. Instead, have a separate process to do long-running work, and find a way to communicate between the web server process and the long-running work process. For example, using redis is popular. npm has several modules for helping you manage a work queue. However... I'm not sure why spawning more than 5 processes from a web server would be a problem. I'd need to see some code demonstrating the problem. -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
