Demonize

Demonize / Daemonize With Node.js

This library will demonize a program and return the child process. It can also create a standalone demonizable script that can be started just like a bash script ./demon.js

Examples

const Demonize = require('demonize');
 
const options = {
    arg: 'server.js',
    env: { PORT: 8000 },
    err: __dirname + '/out.log',
    out: __dirname + '/out.log'
};
 
const child = await Demonize.it(options);
console.log(child);
const Demonize = require('demonize');
 
const options = {
    env: { PORT: 8000 },
    arg: ['server.js'],
    err: __dirname + '/out.log',
    out: __dirname + '/out.log',
 
    fd: '/Path/To/Add/Generated/demon.js'
};
 
await Demonize.generate(options);
console.log('Created standalone demonize script');
