使用--harmony服务的node.js v0.11.14

Question

I am using Amazon linux on EC2 and node.js v0.11.14.

I need to start node as service with parameter harmony

node --harmony app.js

how to achieve this with forever or other package?

I found answers like forever start -c "node --harmony" app.js but this is not working.

For production environment, personally, you should give a try to pm2. PM2 is an awesome process manager for nodejs. There are features like: Load balancer, running the app forever even when the server restarts and a lot more that you can read here: https://github.com/Unitech/pm2

To pass v8 arguments using pm2 you can use --node-args:

pm2 start app.js --node-args="--harmony"

To pass arguments to the v8 engine and app.js you have to use double dashes.

pm2 start app.js --node-args="--harmony" -- arg1 arg2 arg3

Now, your node is running with --harmony and you can access the args via process.argv array.
