Running in the background (hack)

[dangreenisrael]

I get the server running in the background, and deal with it potentially crashing by running this php script as a cron:

// This lets me run the script on an interval
exec('pkill lifx-http');
echo "killed LIFX";

// The nohum and & let me keep running commands after the server is launched
$command = 'lifx-http';
exec("nohup $command >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &"); 
echo 'started LIFX server';

// I exit the script to prevent any system hang
exit;

Hi Dan,

how did you manage to run lifx-http in the background?

Cheers,

I think that I ran it through a php script calling it with && to be asynchronous but I don’t remember

If your using RVM you can generate wrapper scripts and then run lifx-httpd with any process control app.

I've got it working with supervisor.
