Forever nodejs won't run

Question

I have a problem with a server that runs nodejs.

For some reason, I need to say in the terminal nodejs instead of node. I try to reinstall it many times, but It doesn't change it.

Now, this isn't a big problem but I need to run forever. And forever won't run.

Is there a way to call forever with nodejs?

Thanks

Create a symlink, or perhaps install pm2 instead of forever. This may be a duplicate... — Clay, Dec 11 '15 at 13:57

According to forever documentation. You can use -c flag to define the command to execute, which default to node.

So if you want to use nodejs instead. You could use forever -c nodejs start script.js

For this to work you need to create a symlink.

For exemple like this : ln -s /usr/local/bin/nodejs /usr/local/bin/node
