supervisord running node as a service

Question

I am trying to run a node application as a service using supervisord. If I go to /opt/uptime and run: ``` node app.js ``` My application starts in the foreground. As soon as I hit ctrl+c it dies.. As expected. I have installed supervisor and have added this to the config: ``` [program:uptime] command=/usr/local/bin/node app.js directory=/opt/uptime/ ``` I can start supervisor successfully but if I do supervisorctl status I get: ``` uptime BACKOFF Exited too quickly (process log may have details) ``` Here are the log files: /var/log/supervisor/supervisord.log ``` 2013-04-25 09:37:10,854 CRIT Supervisor running as root (no user in config file) 2013-04-25 09:37:10,866 INFO /var/tmp/supervisor.sock:Medusa (V1.1.1.1) started at Thu Apr 25 09:37:10 2013 Hostname: <unix domain socket> Port:/var/tmp/supervisor.sock 2013-04-25 09:37:10,914 CRIT Running without any HTTP authentication checking 2013-04-25 09:37:10,915 INFO daemonizing the process 2013-04-25 09:37:10,917 INFO supervisord started…

Accepted Answer

If i understand correctly, the code should look like this:

If directory = /usr/local/bin/ :

```
[program:uptime]
directory = /usr/local/bin/
command = node app.js
```

If directory = /opt/uptime/ :

```
[program:uptime]
directory = /opt/uptime/
command = node app.js
```
