Re: Starting a node program so it keeps running without interactive jobs staying open.

Thank you, I've been trying to play around with that a bit and I had the
same question.

In its simplest form you can do the following. Eventually you will want to
add more options (i.e. start multiple instances on different ports for load
balancing with a front-ending Apache/nginx instance).

SBMJOB JOB(QSH CMD('/dir/start.sh'))

---start.sh---
#!/usr/bin/sh
cd /dir
node sample.js

I have developed a "hello world" web server using JavaScript and NodeJS.

I

am starting the web server using interactive sessions. I open a 5250
session, then open an interactive qshell session, then run the following
command:

node /mydirectory/sample.js

When the "hello world" web server is running, there are three jobs

active:

1. My interactive 5250 session.
2. The qshell interpreter (QZSHSH)
3. A job that appears to be the node program (QP0ZSPWT).

But when I end the qshell session the node program (the QPOZSPWT job)

also

ends. So my "hello world" web server is no longer running.

How do I get my "hello world" web server to run in NodeJS without me
having to leave an interactive qshell session open?

Thanks,
