Feature request: Allow specifying a script to run when client exits via CLI

[diegovar]

I'd like to be able to do something like the following:

forever start -exit emailCrash.js app.js

Where the script emailCrash.js is called when forever detects that app.js is dead for good (that is, it's been revived the maximum number of times or is spinning).

This is a neat idea! Thanks for the suggestion.

We can also have -stop emailStopped.js so that it can email when the script has stopped.

We would definitely accept a pull request for this - it's a great idea, but it will be a while before any of our team members have the time to devote to it.

There is already an internal API for this. It seems that this would lend itself even better towards the .forever file that @mmalecki and I were discussing yesterday.

From what I can tell of the bugs I've fixed tonight they come in mostly one flavor: options parsing hell Basically I'm pretty sure that forever has evolved to a point where people are probably passing 10+ options to the CLI everytime they run something.

.forever. files would be similar to #124, but no Javascript would be allowed, only configuration (like strings pointing to files)

Any update / workaround on this ?

Duplicate of #437.

This does not look like a duplicate of #437 (mixed start/restart command), rather a duplicate of #301 .
