Should -p option does write all file in the path specified?

[PirlotN]

Hi,
I'am trying to run forever within a shell_exec in php. The server www-data can't write to /root folder.
So I use the -p PATH options as explain in the doc: -p PATH Base path for all forever related files (pid files, etc.)

Log files is write well but pid files continues to try to be created in root folder.

How can we setup forever for writing pid file in specified path ?

Thanks in advance.

I struggled with the same, they introduced FOREVER_ROOT to solve this issue.

Look at #469

Why the hell is this not documented? Why is the -p option still present?

This is why forever is not liked - terrible documentation.

Why was the FOREVER_ROOT solution introduced instead of fixing the -p option? The -p option did not work so instead of fixing this you introduced another environment configuration?
