Comment to Jot Server won't work when the SSH console is closed

  • Hi @Alexey

    Oh Ok. Thanks. So, how to run it as a background process/daemon?

    • See older replies...

    • @Alexey I did everything described in the link you mentioned above. I do believe that Jot Server was installed correctly.

      When I check the forever process using this command line:

      forever list

      I get this result:

      (node:26054) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'padLevels' of module exports inside circular dependency
      (Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
      (node:26054) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'padLevels' of module exports inside circular dependency
      info:    Forever processes running
      data:        uid  command       script forever pid   id logfile                 uptime
      data:    [0] StUH /usr/bin/node app.js 26386   26397    /root/.forever/StUH.log 1:20:48:5.690999999991618

      Is there any other way to check whether Jot Server is run as background process/daemon like "node app.js" or not?

      Thanks

      • Hello!

        Yes, you can check if the node is active, you should run this command:

        ps ax | grep node

        It shows the all processes with node js. You need to find line with path_to_jot_server/app.js . If it exists, then it is running.

        Also may be you forgot to install the all dependencies using command:

        npm install

        You may provide me with server details via PM, I can check.

        • I have checked, indeed the node is active.

          I run the command:

          ps ax | grep node

          and it gave me this result:

          21007 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto node
          26386 ?        Ssl    0:00 /usr/bin/node /usr/lib/node_modules/forever/bin/monitor app.js
          26397 ?        Sl     0:12 /usr/bin/node /home/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/app.js

          Also I installed all dependecies using the command line: npm install when installing Jot server. 69 packages were installed as I described in the link (post) below and you told me back then that everythig was good.

          https://una.io/d/jot-server-installation-and-messenger

          Anyway, I double-checked whether all the dependencies were installed using:

          npm list

          npm list --global

          npm list -g

          It gave me a long list of installed npm packages and their dependencies like this:

          /root
          └─┬ forever@4.0.1
            ├── async@1.5.2
            ├─┬ cliff@0.1.10
            │ ├── colors@1.0.3 extraneous
            │ ├── eyes@0.1.8
            │ └── winston@0.8.3 deduped
            ├── clone@2.1.2
            ├── colors@0.6.2
            ├─┬ configstore@4.0.0
            │ ├─┬ dot-prop@4.2.1
            │ │ └── is-obj@1.0.1

          etc... (the list is long)

          Also, it gave me some errors like:

          npm ERR! extraneous: colors@1.0.3 /root/node_modules/cliff/node_modules/colors
          npm ERR! extraneous: cliff@0.1.9 /root/node_modules/broadway/node_modules/cliff
          npm ERR! extraneous: eventemitter2@0.4.14 /root/node_modules/broadway/node_modules/eventemitter2
          npm ERR! extraneous: winston@0.8.0 /root/node_modules/broadway/node_modules/winston

          etc... (the list is long)

          I don't know what those errors mean, but as you call tell, all the dependencies were installed.

          I am sending you my server details via PM so that you can check.

          Thanks.
