Forever + Nodemon running together

You should run something like this

forever start -c nodemon app.coffee

Toxa was on the right track, the issue that cfogelberg raised is valid, but to avoid that issue you can do the following:

forever -c "nodemon --exitcrash" app.js

this makes sure nodemon actually exits (rather than giving you the "app crashed" message) and then forever picks it up again.

In forever --help this -c specifies a command to run otherwise it defaults node. Without -c results in the error that is mention in the comments to this answer.
