forever: Start running a file forever (as a daemon).
$ forever ${script}
try on your machine

The command "forever ${script}" is typically used in a terminal or command line interface to start a process or script that will run indefinitely.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  1. "forever" is a utility or command that is used to run scripts or processes continuously, ensuring that they restart if they crash or encounter errors.

  2. "${script}" refers to a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual name or path of the script or process that you want to run continuously. The variable notation (${...}) is commonly used to indicate a placeholder value that should be substituted with a specific value.

So when you execute the command "forever ${script}", the "forever" utility will start running the specified script or process continuously, automatically restarting it if it crashes or encounters any issues.
