Which is the alternative to id/uid (which are marked as DEPRECATED)?

According to the doc, both --id and --uid are DEPRECATED. So, in case I want to assign “ids” to my daemons to easily manage them via CLI, which is the proper alternative? AFAIS the documentation does not provide any other way.

Ditto on this…?

I’m getting the same issue as @anistark , which took me a while to figure out (thought it was something with the Jenkins server…), it was fixed after I switched to forever. My current approach is to launch each instance of my application on a dedicate PORT, like this: PORT=${portNumber} npx forever start my_app.js

Then save the pid of the process running on that port somewhere using this command lsof -t -i:${portNumber} ( save this as processId)

And kill it later with npx forever stop ${processId}
