Running Gulp in background always

Question

I have to maintain a AngularJS/Node.js application which uses Gulp with browserify. I cannot install npm on server so I unzipped node x64 and added it to the path. The code is compiled locally with node_modules in the code folder. We are unzipping it into a folder in server and executing the gulp serve &. The process starts fine, however exits as soon as the user is logged out. Kindly suggest the best way to resolve this issue.

Answer 1

Use nohup, like

nohup gulp serve &

Answer 2

Following command helped me to fix the issue:

forever start node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js
