How do i start apps like cloudcmd and cordova with forever in node.js

with forever i could start my website running the command:

forever start index.js

But i would like to know how could i start apps like cloudcmd and cordova. So I Installed the forever-monitor on ther site root, and was trying to run this command:

forever start cloudcmd

but i get some error message: cannot start forever

script /path/to/site/cloudcmd does not exist Same with cordova:

forever start cordova serve

cannot start forever

script /path/to/site/cordova does not exist

what am i doing wrong, how could i set this services to be running with forever?

Thanks a lot

Solution

It depends on way of installing node.js applications:

if you install application globally with npm i cloudcmd -g you should determine where main application file of cloudcmd located. On UNIX use which cloudcmd command. Path will be similar to: /usr/local/bin/cloudcmd, to start it with forever use: forever start /usr/local/bin/cloudcmd
if you install application locally: git clone https://github.com/coderaiser/cloudcmd cd cloudcmd forever start bin/cloudcmd.js or npm i cloudcmd cd node_modules/cloudcmd forever start bin/cloudcmd.js

The same with cordova.
