nodemon cannot run in background with nohup? #296

leoliaolei · 2014-02-14T08:03:47Z

I use nohup nodemon server.js &. It seems nodemon is killed soon.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

remy · 2014-02-18T20:48:07Z

Is killed, as in, dies? Or does it linger, then restart? I could do with a bit more information. Perhaps some help debugging?

leoliaolei · 2014-02-18T23:57:52Z

I run nodemon, everything is fine as below.

    [root@vm dms]# nodemon server/server.js

But nohup not work.

I'm also facing the same issue. I tried to run nodemon in verbose mode but it didn't help much. Here's what happens when I try to run nodemon with nohup :

sparkit · 2014-05-06T09:41:20Z

I had same issue. Here is my work around
Created a shell script exec.sh

cd source
nodemon app.js

Then execute the script with nohup

nohup exec.sh

remy · 2014-05-06T11:24:36Z

Cheers for the tip. I've not had a chance to play with this yet (am on
paternity leave), but I'll take a look too. I suspect there's some kind of
signalling going weird here.

@sparkit
I use nohup ./exec.sh, because nohup exec.sh not work, because it show "nohup: cannot run command `exec.sh': No such file or directory"

sparkit · 2014-07-08T08:13:09Z

Have added permission +x for exec.sh ?
try giving full path nohup

nvcken · 2014-07-08T08:18:46Z

I has added +x permission for exec.sh.
Could you please explain how give full path nohup, thanks

sparkit · 2014-07-08T08:33:17Z

Will look something like
nohup /home/nvcken/myapp/exec.sh

cookiengineer · 2014-09-19T20:55:51Z

I added an issue to nodejs, because I was having the same issue when binding to stdin. It might be related this issue, too.

nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#8410

@remy I bet if you remove these lines, it will work without issues using nohup :)

pishguy · 2016-07-25T10:07:51Z

i can put it to background, but after close ssh connection, nodemon stopped, because after connecet to ssh again i dont have any package on background

NigeNigeNige · 2017-01-27T15:47:49Z

Another possible solution:

nohup nodemon -I app.js

The -I switch prevents nodemon from attempting to use STDIN, which isn't allowed under nohup as there's no input stream.

cf. remy/nodemon#296

barraponto · 2017-10-12T14:25:52Z

~~@Fistynuts interesting -- but I don't see the -I option when I run nodemon --help. Doc issue?~~
Never mind, my eyes deceived me.

pishguy · 2017-10-13T03:59:01Z

@barraponto please use tmux terminal emulator and run nodejs application inside that

stale · 2017-12-12T04:04:39Z

This issue has been automatically marked as idle and stale because it hasn't had any recent activity. It will be automtically closed if no further activity occurs. If you think this is wrong, or the problem still persists, just pop a reply in the comments and @remy will (try!) to follow up.
Thank you for contributing <3

pishguy · 2017-12-12T05:51:40Z

@leoliaolei you can use nodemon with tmux

NigeNigeNige · 2017-12-12T09:00:45Z

@remy Feel free to close this issue, the -I switch fixes it.

remy · 2017-12-12T10:12:17Z

I've got an faq item to merge, so I'll add this to the FAQ too.

👍

TinoSM · 2018-01-31T17:59:10Z

For those trying to use it (I don't have the -I switch yet on the version I installed), you can also try with the command "screen" if your distribution has it (AWS has it), it opens a deattached shell which wont die even if your ssh dies (plus you can recover it later)
