Forever losing track for daemon processes on start about forever

[indexzero]

How are you checking for the existence of the .fvr files? You should be doing this in the child.on('exit') handler because only then can you be guarenteed that the files exist. Do you have a full code sample?

Ok, got it to fail again. Found this in the log.

$ cat foreverBIE.log 
node
/usr/local/bin/coffee,/usr/local/bin/zappa,-p,4000,app/app.coffee

(libev) kevent: Bad file descriptor

This node process is running however. Ideas?

Currently my check now is manual. I look at what was created in the pids dir and correlate that with what comes out of 'ps'. The processes are exiting with a status of 0. I'll grant you temp access to the repo so you can check it out.

update: you should have access now

Looks like this is a known issue with os x and libevent.

I've been able to repro this. I will investigate and get back to you.

[0], any movement on this? Maybe you have learned something that you can share with us for further reference?

Busy week @nodejitsu. Going to devote my weekend to this and some other improvements to forever. Will keep you posted.

I think this will be fixed in 0.4.0, let me know if it repros after I push tonight.
