Question
Can I run 2 forever node.js instances on the same console
I know if I have two different consoles open I can easily run two instances of a node.js but is it possible to run two using one console? I use the default droplet console as I cannot have puTTY open 24/7 on my computer, and the "forever start --spinSleepTime 10000 " does not work for me. Please help!!!
Thanks alot!

Yes you can. The thing you need to note is that you can’t run two different node apps on same port.
Why this is not working for you I’m not sure, you can specify which file you want to start:
Maybe specifying redundancy can help (how much times script can be run, there is example in docs):
You can look at forever docs a their GitHub for more explanation.
