Start http worker process for nodejs
npm install pstarter var pstarter = require('pstarter');
pstarter.startMaster(__dirname + '/config/configs.js', {}, function() {
var config = require('./config/configs.js');
pstarter.statServer(config.http.statPort, config.http.statHost);
if (process.env['NODE_ENV'] && process.env['NODE_ENV'] == 'development') {
pstarter.startWatch(__dirname, [__dirname +'/node_modules'], ['.js', '.json', '.html', '.css']);
}
}).startWorker(function() {
var config = require('./config/configs.js');
var express = require('express');
var bootstrap = require('./app/bootstrap.js');
var app = express.createServer();
bootstrap.setupApp(app, __dirname);
bootstrap.bootstrap(app);
bootstrap.postrun();

});
pstarter.startMaster({}, {exec: './worker.js'});
confFile - configuration file or object. Only PID_FILE and http.numWorkers are used at the momentmasterSettings - See http://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html#cluster_cluster_setupmaster_settingscallback - function which will be called when master has forked workerscallback - will call when worker has attached listener on exit signalcleanupCallback - will call when worker receives exit signal. It pass a function for terminating process (or you can choose to exit).root top folder to watch, all subfolder will also be watchedskipFolders Array of folders you want to skip, absolute pathexts Array of extension to listen on changes, including "." port port to run stat serverhost host to run stat serverYou need to create a symbolic link /etc/init.d/pstarter to pstarter/etc/init.d/pstarter and make pstarter executable.
You need also specify NODE_BIN, SERVER, PID_FILE, AS_USER, NODEJS and NODE_ENV if your application uses it:
* NODE_BIN folder which contains SERVER
* SERVER application/server file to execute
* PID_FILE should be /var/run/pstarter.pid in production linux
* AS_USER the username or uid that you want to run your app (worker) with
* NODEJS executable nodejs
* NODE_ENV for your own application; normally development/production
