to Orbited Discussion

Hi,

I am trying to deploy orbited on linux
I type "orbitedctl start" to start daemon

then i can see
" Starting Orbited Daemon
Orbited Daemon Started "

but when check orbited status by "orbitedctl status"
orbited is always offline

"Orbited Daemon is [ offline ]"

i am able to run "development mode" without problem.
what should i do to start daemon?

Regards,
Donald Tse

Somehow when we moved from 0.5 to 0.6, orbitedctl stopped working in many cases. For the time being, if you're deploying on linux there are a number of distribution-specific methods of daemonizing a process, including "upstart" and "start-stop-daemon". Of course, you could also use screen:
(after installing screen [ "sudo apt-get install screen" on ubuntu ]

$ screen
$ orbited
$ (ctr-a, d)
$ exit

# Then later, to reattach (to stop or restart orbited)
$ screen -x
