OS X: (libev) kevent: Bad file descriptor about daemon.node HOT 4 CLOSED

You can try to make sure you're using [email protected], or you can try my node-prefork, but really, you should just move to node 0.8.x.

If you fork a node 0.6 process, you lose the thread pool. Period. It won't work.

If you use node 0.8, you can use the detached option to child_process.spawn to achieve the same kind of daemonization - but the direct forking that these modules try to do just won't work with node anymore.

Thanks. I'm on node 0.8.1, which is why I was surprised to see the error. Are you saying that this package works on 0.8, or that I should just use the detached option in spawn?

The detached option does runs setsid(); however I don't want to shell out a subprocess, I want to fork into the background! But yeah, if you say that is more reliable (and I assume you know that from hard-won experience) then I'll just have the program spawn itself, detached, or something similar.

Thanks!

@jhs in forever we spawn bin/forever as a detached child process, then spawn the child-process.

Thanks, all. I think we can close this ticket as having several workarounds identified.
