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

Question

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?

Answer 1

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"
