Question
Crontab + Forever + node.js + NPM
Hi guys, I cant put my crontab to work. I’m on Ubuntu 14.04x64
So, this is what I did:
.root
.pw
.sudo apt-get update
.sudo apt-get install nodejs
.sudo apt-get install npm
.curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.11.1/install.sh | bash
[I reload Putty]
.nvm install 0.12
.npm install steam
[Now I go to filezilla, upload the file.js into root directory]
.nvm use 0.12
.node file.js
[It executes the file.js sucessfuly, I reload Putty]
.nvm use 0.12
.npm install forever -g
.forever start file.js
[It will execute the file.js infinitely]
Now I want a restart to execute this commands. The thing is that “forever start” will not execute if I dont execute the “nvm use 0.12” in first place.
So:
.crontab -e
.nano
.*/5 * * * * nvm use 0.12 && forever start file.js
ctrl + x
saved
Result: It doesn’t restarts.
What I’m doing wrong? Thanks!
