Where does forever store console.log output?

Question

I installed forever and am using it, finding it quite funny.

But I realized that the logs are placed to somewhere else. Is there any tips?

Answer 1

Forever takes command line options for output:

-l  LOGFILE      Logs the forever output to LOGFILE -o  OUTFILE      Logs stdout from child script to OUTFILE -e  ERRFILE      Logs stderr from child script to ERRFILE 

For example:

forever start -o out.log -e err.log my-script.js

Answer 2

Forever, by default, will put logs into a random file in ~/.forever/ folder.

You should run forever list to see the running processes and their corresponding log file.

Sample output

>>> forever list info:    Forever processes running data:        uid  command       script forever pid  logfile                         uptime data:    [0] 6n71 /usr/bin/node app.js 2233    2239 /home/vagrant/.forever/6n71.log 0:0:0:1.590 

However, it's probably best to specify with -l as mentioned by bryanmac.
