Does the executable have to be running for the server to receive the webhook? #11

I configured the Ubuntu server with jekyll-hook and have successfully published my Jekyll site to my domain name, but the webhook comes up with a "Service Timeout" error if I am not running the executable at the time of the payload push.

Is it possible to have the server receive the payload without locally running the executable?

My webhook links to http://example.org:8080/hooks/jekyll/gh-pages like the Readme.md suggests.

No, you must be running the executable. Run it in a tmux session or run it via launchd or another daemon so you don't have to run it manually.

Awesome. Got it up and running with this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-write-a-linux-daemon-with-node-js-on-a-vps. There is some latency when I push the changes, but it works. Thanks!
