How to get forever working with locomotive

[rapsody]

Hi, using the command forever start -c 'lcm server' with locomotive v0.4 and the command doesn't work. Is it possible to have forever work with locomotive

While I can't speak to this in any "official" capacity, I can say that I've got forever working for my install.

Two things 1) I have a global install, just for a fallback (i.e. npm install -g locomotive)
2) I also have a local install as part of my application package.

My structure looks basically like:
working dir/
site/
app/
config/
node_modules/

as long as I am in Site/ I can run: forever node_modules/.bin/lcm server and get good results.

I seem to recall trying it one level up as forever site/node_modules/.bin/lcm server and having issue so I believe there is some patch magic inside locomotive that requires you to run it from the parent of app/

Thanks for the reply, this works. its a little weird that its doesn't work as a global command, ie havng to be in site dir to run, but hey you can't win them all.

Thats a similar structure to what i have already, so all good.

Well, I'm simply doing NODE_ENV=[env] forever start server.js. Works great.
