I am attempting to run my expressJS app continuously
on a server using forever-monitor.
I don't get any errors however my app does not keep running as expected,
the process exits after 3 restarts.
Can I omit the max value here or what am I missing to run the app continuously?

Info: I am deploying it to a AWS lightsail server.

the code I have implemented comes from the forever-monitor git repo.

var forever = require('forever-monitor');



var child = new (forever.Monitor)('app.js', {

max: 3,

silent: true,

args: 

});



child.on('exit', function () {

console.log('program has exited after 3 restarts');

});



child.start();  

I had to install both forever and forever-monitor dependencies to get the app running continuously.
The application runs as expected now after closing the CLI session.

var forever = require('forever-monitor');



var child = new (forever.Monitor)('app.js', {

max:3,

silent: true,

sourceDir: '/app.js',

watch:true,

args: 

});



child.on('watch:restart', function(info) {

console.error('Restaring script because ' + info.file + ' changed');

});



child.on('restart', function() {

console.error('Forever restarting script for ' + child.times + ' time');

});



child.on('exit:code', function(code) {

console.error('Forever detected script exited with code ' + code);

});



child.start();
