running MongoDB with Forever

I’m trying to run MongoDB with Forever. I can run mongo by itself with the following command: /usr/local/bin/mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.0.0/bin/mongod and it works great. But when I try to run with forever: forever start /usr/local/bin/mongodb-linux-x86_64-2.0.0/bin/mongo it doesn’t work. Here’s the error I see in the forever log:

node.js:134
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
        ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL
    at Module._compile (module.js:397:25)
    at Object..js (module.js:408:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:334:31)
    at Function._load (module.js:293:12)
    at Array.<anonymous> (module.js:421:10)
    at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:126:26)
warn: Forever detected script exited with code: 1

Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Workaround:

Create a shell script file and name it startmongod which contains the following:

#!/bin/bash

# not a good idea?: mongos --fork --logpath ~/mongoLogs/mongod.log
mongod --dbpath ~/data/db --logpath ~/mongoLogs/mongod.log

Now run mongo via forever by making the -c option /bin/bash, like this:

/usr/local/bin/forever start -c /bin/bash ./startmongod

Still seeing this same issue. Any fix coming soon?
