Keep Alive Node.js App in cPanel

[erience]

I have deployed a Node.js Application using the following Tutorial : Node.js Hosting Configuration and Installing Node.js Apps | cPanel Blog

However no where its mentioned, how to Keep Alive Node.js. I have installed PM2 also. but with PM2 this command

/opt/cpanel/ea-nodejs10/bin/node app.js

is not working

Any Ideas on how to keep alive Node.js Application. The moment i close the Terminal window from WHM, script dies.

Hey there! Can you try working through the guide here? That has more detail than the blog post and is a page we keep updated:

How to Install a Node.js Application | cPanel & WHM Documentation

This document describes how to install a Node.js web application. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that allows you to build scalable web applications.

I am looking at keep alive, nowhere in above link, it's mentioned that Node.js won't shut down if i close the terminal window

I believe that is normal behavior. In the instructions it says you will need to open a separate terminal window to perform the tests in step 2 and 3 of the application testing. After that, you'd need to perform the steps under registering the application as well as the startup file.

As mentioned on the top of the page, our support is extremely limited for these tools.
