Sysadmin Startup init script or any other solution

Hello

I have an addon that recommends to use "forever" to start the js script like:

Code:

forever start /path/to/file.js

As if it crashes or stops running for whatever reason, forever will start it back up.

I can run it without "forever" also using:

Code:

node /path/to/file.js

Now i need some help to start up node when server is restarted (nodejs.sh does that already?) and for an automated way to start file.js using "forever" or "screen" maybe or none of them and just start it.

Thank you

I was thinking for scenario one that the node is already auto starting to use a cron job like:

Code:

@reboot /usr/bin/forever start /path/to/file.js

or if the installation script nodejs.sh doesn't take care of startup after server reboot to use this one?

Code:

@reboot /usr/bin/forever start -c /usr/bin/node /path/to/file.js

what do you think?
