Research direction

This is a usage question about running a Node.js script in the background with the forever utility. No repository file, test, or concrete documentation target is mentioned; start by checking forever's existing usage documentation. Done would require a verified explanation or a clearly scoped documentation change, but the issue's age makes it unsuitable as a first contribution.

Description

I have been playing with the source for the forever utility.

I want to try adding a few features, see what happens.

But I have a basic question.

I can create an app called myforever.js.

I run it like this

node myforever.js

And it runs.

But it runs in the foreground.

I want to run it in the background, like forever does.
