Deps: replace "forever" to get rid of "timespan" security warning?

openwhyd.org is an open-source music platform used daily by thousands of users to create playlists of songs from the web (Youtube, Soundcloud, etc…), and discover musical gems from similar users.

Tech stack: Node.js, MongoDB, Docker, Mocka, Webdriver.io, jQuery, Electron + iOS app

Goal

We have been using forever to run Openwhyd on our production server, and restart it automatically when it ever crashes.

The problem is that this npm module is not maintained anymore, and it depends on other npm modules on which security vulnerabilities were detected. (cf https://github.com/foreverjs/forever/pull/956)

=> Your PR should replace the forever dependency (from package.json) by one of its forks (or another similar npm module) that don’t rely on unsafe dependencies.

Maybe you could put in some non js code and you should get some syntax error or insert process.exit(1) somewhere in the code.
