How do I autostart meanjs on the boot of my ubuntu server?

You can launch it in the back ground by adding " &" to the end of your command.

grunt &

Select allOpen in new window

To see the jobs running in the background:

jobs -l

Select allOpen in new window

To run it on startup, create a shell script, let's call it grunt.sh in /etc/init.d/ that has your two commands.

You'll have to enable execution of the script file. The sudo command temporarily gives you permission to make changes to the file in the /etc/init.d directory.

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/grunt.sh

Select allOpen in new window

Hi
Thanks
Tried it
Doesn't work
Any other suggestions?

By the way "grunt" or "grunt &" do not work on my shell unless you do "cd /opt/mean" first. Maybe that's the problem?

Thanks

The ampersand following a command tells the command to run in the background.

You can run it in one step instead of with the cd
/opt/mean/grunt &


You can also background a running command by pressing ctrl z, then typing bg.
With your previous sequence.

cd /opt/mean
grunt

Select allOpen in new window

The prompt doesn't return.  At this point press ctrl z and you will get a prompt, but the program will be paused.
Type
bg
and it will become a background process.

In your script, you may not have the same environment as in your shell, so it's always best to use the full path to call your commands.
/opt/mean/grunt

Hi Serialband,

doesn't work. Also that job -l command doesn't work.

Any other suggestions?

thanks

doesn't work is kinda non descriptive. If a command fails mostly an messages is issued.
i think the job command should be spelled as jobs (with s)

Sorry about the delay guys.

Well I did what Serialband suggested and rebooted my VPS.
After reboot I tried to load the mean.js page but nothing showed up.

When I run the jobs -l command nothing happens:

lupocatttivo@octane:~$ jobs -l
lupocatttivo@octane:~$

Select allOpen in new window

If I try it with sudo I get and error:

lupocatttivo@octane:~$ sudo jobs -l
sudo: jobs: command not found

Select allOpen in new window

Also I am unable to run the /opt/mean/grunt or the /opt/mean/grunt & commands as suggested above:

lupocatttivo@octane:~$ /opt/mean/grunt
-bash: /opt/mean/grunt: No such file or directory
lupocatttivo@octane:~$ /opt/mean/grunt &
[2] 25104
lupocatttivo@octane:~$ -bash: /opt/mean/grunt: No such file or directory

Select allOpen in new window

This is despite the fact that I can do:

lupocatttivo@octane:~$ cd /opt
lupocatttivo@octane:/opt$ cd mean

Select allOpen in new window

Also if I try the grunt & command I can't still use my shell.
When I run the command, mean.js works. Then on the shell I can if I do a Ctrl+Z and then type bg, but then the service exits too:

cd /opt/mean
grunt &
[ctrl + z]
bg
[1]+ grunt &

[1]+  Stopped                 grunt
lupocatttivo@octane:/opt/mean$

Select allOpen in new window

Any ideas anyone?
All I would like is that the service start automatically at every reboot and stay up without any manual intervention.

thanks

jobs is a shell internal and shows all sub/child processes.
so it wouldn't work on sudo.

That it doesn't show anything means there are nu jobs...

Doing "grunt &" should already background a process (still showing up in  a jobs command though).
the output of jobs should look like line 7 in the last example.

If a background job wants to do i/o it will do a SIGSTOP until it can be done.
to prevent all that use:

nohup grunt >grunt.log &
then output will go to the background  and a logout will leave the job running, input will be from /dev/null

Hi Noci,

I tried it and I get this output:

lupocatttivo@octane:~$ nohup grunt >grunt.log &
[1] 32559
lupocatttivo@octane:~$ nohup: ignoring input and redirecting stderr to stdout

Select allOpen in new window

Mean.js in the meantime does not still work.

By the way I am not a Ubuntu expert so please when you explain command could you be more explicit.
Your explanation above was a little difficult for me to follow

thanks

now what is showing in grunt.log?

Sorry Noci, am away from office on business trip. When I am back tomorrow I will check and respond with the log.

thanks

You said

By the way "grunt" or "grunt &" do not work on my shell unless you do "cd /opt/mean" first. Maybe that's the problem?

and

Also I am unable to run the /opt/mean/grunt or the /opt/mean/grunt & commands as suggested above:

lupocatttivo@octane:~$ /opt/mean/grunt
-bash: /opt/mean/grunt: No such file or directory
lupocatttivo@octane:~$ /opt/mean/grunt &
[2] 25104
lupocatttivo@octane:~$ -bash: /opt/mean/grunt: No such file or directory

Select allOpen in new window

                                       

For me it means that your command is not in this directory.
What does it say when you issue

which grunt

Select allOpen in new window

Then use the returned fullpath.

sorry guys I was away on a long business trip

Docteur Z here is what I get

lupocatttivo@octane:~$ which grunt
/usr/local/bin/grunt

Select allOpen in new window

and Noci here are the contents of grunt.log:

grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.13)

Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt
hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about
installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:

http://gruntjs.com/getting-started

Select allOpen in new window

thanks again guys and sorry for the delay

any ideas?
thanks

Either it isn't installed correctly or your path is wrong.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?
I followed the instructions on digital ocean by the letter. No one else on that page seems to find it not working. Strange!

Or perhaps help me with a command to uninstall it and if anyone has any ideas of another better step-by-step installation tutorial?

In general any and all help will be highly appreciated

Thanks in advance

So i did install according to the manual (except for nodejs, for which my system has a package)
and mongo. I didn't start mongo yet... and yes grunt does start.
So what step was missed...

/usr/local directory use does indicate that maybe the configure phase may need some extra parameters, like --prefix=/usr

Hi Noci,

thanks for the effort in running the test. So if I get it right you followed the exact same procedure and were able to start grunt and get an output in the browser? If it is so, I did the same too. The problem was always with the grunt command in the shell/putty. As I say in my original questions:

When I run this command my shell is occupied by this and I can't use it for anything else.
If I close the shell mean.js goes offline.

So I ask you, after you ran grunt, were you still able to use putty? If not, were you able to use the script suggested by Mark Bullock or any of the other suggestions by anyone else at all?

I am happy to uninstall and reinstall if you did get results as it would clearly mean I missed a step somewhere.

thanks

When you run grunt?  Add the ampersand (&) after the command, before you press Enter.  That should background the task.

If you've already started the command, you can also press Control z and you will put the command temporarily to sleep.  You then type the command bg, press enter, and the grunt command will run in the background.

Yes serialband, thanks
What I would like to know from Noci is if your suggestions work on his shell or not

thanks

Have you tried it yourself?

In my case they didn't work

I wanted to establish a common ground first: So i did an install like the one you described with the exception of nodejs, because i have a distro package for that (emerge nodejs)
grunt gets installed in /usr and not in /usr/local like you have. (there is a first difference).

testnode# which grunt
/usr/bin/grunt


If i start it with nohup:

nohup grunt &
or
nohup /usr/bin/grunt >/var/log/grunt.log &

The service starts...
this would suffice for one time startup....

To start on each boot then the above command needs to be in a script called
/etc/init.d/rungrunt

#!/bin/bash
nohup /usr/bin/grunt >/var/log/grunt.log &

Select allOpen in new window

Unless you are using very recent versions of some major distro's that jumped the systemd bandwagon.
Now it still runs as root etc.
that can be fixed with:

/etc/init.d/rungrunt

#!/bin/bash
su - gruntuser -c "nohup /usr/bin/grunt >/var/log/grunt.log &"

Select allOpen in new window

and that can be expanded using daemontools when running under debian etc. or the tooling of choice on your distro. (see other scripts in /etc/init.d/

the /etc/init.d/rungrunt should be symlinked in  the runlevel of your choice (3, 4, 5) as network is needed.

ln -nsf /etc/init.d/rungrunt /etc/rc3.d/S99rungrunt
ln -nsf /etc/init.d/rungrunt /etc/rc4.d/S99rungrunt
ln -nsf /etc/init.d/rungrunt /etc/rc5.d/S99rungrunt

For chkconfig et. al more header info is needed inside the script.

Ok tomorrow I will uninstall and reinstall and see what happens :D
Will keep you guys posted

However, Noci, I did not ask the installation to go into /usr/local
How do I force it to act differently as in the scenario illustration by yourself?
I am just asking it if my reinstall runs into the same problems as before

thanks all
