I have to run two node servers in different port, I want to write a simple shell script that will start both of the servers.

I wrote it like below:

node project/rest.js && node static-server.js

but when I run the commands at a time, it starts the first server and dont execute the second one.

And only the fist server listens for request, second static server doesn't start. And in the shell I do have a output from rest.js.

What I previously did to run tow servers, I run two commands in different shell.

Is there a way I can run both of the server with a single shell script?

Thanks in advance.

Your command does not work because you are trying to have two processes running in the same shell. Instead, you should 'spawn' the node processes into different processes. Try this command:

node project/rest.js & node static-server.js &
share
