How can I pass node arguments with a forever configuration file?

This is how I normally start

 node -nouse-idle-notification -expose-gc -max-old-space-size=8192 app.js port=5224

This is my config file, but adding in script or args doesn’t work.

 [
    {
      // App1
      "uid": "app1",
      "append": true,
      "watch": true,
      "script": "app.js",
      "args": ["port=5224"]
    },
    {
      // App2
      "uid": "app2",
      "append": true,
      "watch": true,
      "script": "app.js",
      "args": ["port=5225"]
    }
  ]

I would also like to know how to configure --minUptime and --spinSleepTime in the .json file. They won’t stick and need to be passed as arguments to forever.

args is for passing arguments to your script. Use command to pass node flags, as in:

{
  "script": "index.js",
  "command": "node --experimental-modules"
}
