How do you run scrapyrt with forever.js or pm2?

Hi,

I moved a project to a live server and now I need something like pm2 or forever.js to run scrapyrt.

However, neither command seemed to work...

forever.js

I ran this command which failed (and I was in an active virtual environment):

# forever start scrapyrt -p 5003
warn:    --minUptime not set. Defaulting to: 1000ms
warn:    --spinSleepTime not set. Your script will exit if it does not stay up for at least 1000ms
info:    Forever processing file: scrapyrt
error:   Cannot start forever
error:   script /root/my-scrapy-project/scrapyrt does not exist.

pm2

# pm2 start scrapyrt -p 5003
# pm2 list

How do you set scrapyrt to permanently be turned on and automatically restarted like with pm2 or forever?

Any way to do this anyone? How do you keep scrapyrt permanently up?

I found that if the server IP address is 65.124.80.15 and I want to run scrapyrt on port 5003 off it, I can use the following commands to get pm2 running scrapyrt...

cd <into_scrapy_projectfile_containing_scrapy.cfg_file>
pm2 start "scrapyrt -p 5003 -i 65.124.80.15"
