forever is not working as expected after closing terminal or console – CPanel

I have installed forever on shared hosting Cpanel for node js application when I run forever start app.js, node js application works on the server.

warn:    --minUptime not set. Defaulting to: 1000ms
warn:    --spinSleepTime not set. Your script will exit if it does not stay up for at least 1000ms
info:    Forever processing file: app.js

But when I close terminal or console then node app stopped working. Any suggestions around it?

    Closing the terminal will typically close the application running. Consider using tmux or screen to launch the app or also nohup.

    Launching this way should be considered a short-term solution. You probably want to look at how your specific Linux distribution handles startup scripts and services.

    like maldina said closing forever will stop your app consider
    consider upstart (it runs tasks when the computer is started)
    you basiclly create a conf file and place it in your init folder "var/etc/init"
    the file content should look like this

    #!upstart
description "my-app"

start on started mountall
stop on shutdown

# Automatically Respawn:
respawn
respawn limit 99 5

env NODE_ENV=production

exec node /somepath/myapp/server.js >> /var/log/myapp.log 2>&1

    you can use the following commands to manage your app

    sudo start my-app
sudo stop my-app
sudo restart my-app
