Hello, 

All apologies...I used an old message to get the address right, and left the old Subject there.

Take care,

Hello,

While I try to figure out how to get node to at least temporarily log it's errors, 

I am hoping that there is a common issue with launching node instances

from Chef.

The recipe is simple:

The script has eight lines, all just like this:

run.sh:

==============

node script1.js &

node script2.js &

node script3.js &

node script4.js &

node script5.js &

node script6.js &

node script7.js &

==============

The entire recipe is:

==============

execute "execute run.sh" do

  cwd "/opt/prodname/data"

  command "./run.sh"

  action :run

end

==============

At first I thought that it might not be running, but checking the process table

for instances of node (or processes that contain the string "node" ;0) showed that

the node instances were launched but that they dropped out of memory a few seconds

late: (every -- == one second)

while (true) do ps -ef | grep node| grep -v grep; echo "--"; sleep 1; done

I tried adding redirection to the lines in run.sh, to ensure that no output was uncultured

but to no avail. (i.e. adding 2>&1 >/tmp/script#out resulted in no output to these logs)

This seems like more of a node question, and if you can confirm that this is the case, 

then I will turn to that, with appreciation.

Thank you for the time!
