See original GitHub issue

Does forever support binary executable monitoring? If yes, then how to monitor compiled c file executable. since it don’t need “COMMAND to execute” as suggested in options.

 -c  COMMAND      COMMAND to execute (defaults to node)

One work-around is to wrap your binary in a simple shell script that just runs main.

forever start -o ./logs/out.log -e ./logs/err.log -c /bin/bash run-main.sh

Your shell script might look like

#!/bin/sh
exec /full/path/to/main

The exec causes the command being run to take over bash’s process rather than spawning a child. This is necessary so that forever stop kills your program rather than killing the parent bash script and leaving the orphaned child process running.
