How to start independent process from node?

Question

Node.js

Good afternoon!

The essence of the question is the following, how to start a new process from the node.js process, which will continue to run even after the termination of the node?

In details. There is a controller process that should run processes that interact with TCP sockets. New processes should be launched in such a way that even after the controller process is closed, they would remain alive and restarting the controller should pick up existing processes and continue to manage them: kill, create new ones, etc.

Answer 1

#!/usr/bin/env node require('child_process').exec('name &', function (err) { if (err) { console.log('Can\'t start child process.'); process.exit(1); } console.log('Child process is started.'); });

Answer 2

#!/usr/bin/env node

require('child_process').exec('name &', function (err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log('Can\'t start child process.');
    process.exit(1);
  }

  console.log('Child process is started.');
});
