使用shell脚本从单个shell命令运行两个节点服务器

Question

I have to run two node servers in different port, I want to write a simple shell script that will start both of the servers.

I wrote it like below:

node project/rest.js && node static-server.js

but when I run the commands at a time, it starts the first server and dont execute the second one.

And only the fist server listens for request, second static server doesn't start. And in the shell I do have a output from rest.js.

What I previously did to run tow servers, I run two commands in different shell.

Is there a way I can run both of the server with a single shell script?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Your command does not work because you are trying to have two processes running in the same shell. Instead, you should 'spawn' the node processes into different processes. Try this command:

node project/rest.js & node static-server.js &

Answer 2

i have written very simple shell script, for starting MongoDB, start multiple node servers in a new terminal window and open Webstorm Ide.

it uses https://github.com/mklement0/ttab library, for opening new terminal windows.

you can specify multiple projects in code and with simple if else or maybe with switch statement, differentiate projects.

sh dev.sh waufwauf   

will cd and start waufwauf project, hope it helps.

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "waufwauf" ]
then
  cd Code/waufwauf;
    ttab -d ./ mongod;
    ttab -d server npm run dev;
    ttab -d client npm run dev;
    wstorm ~/Code/waufwauf;
elif [ "$1" = "" ]
then
    echo specify project name;  
else
    echo $1 unknown project;
fi

try this, this will work,
