How to write node errors to stderr

Question

I'm running a node app via a shell script

#STARTUP.sh
node server.js

#/etc/rc.local  - this runs on startup of my machine
sudo sh startup.sh >> /home/pi/logs/app.log 2>&1

My issue is, when I have an error in my node app it just crashes and doesn't write the error to app.log

Is there a way to make sure when the app crashes that the error gets logged as well?

Are you properly catching exceptions? Maybe this post can help you. http://stackoverflow.com/a/7313005/3558900 — Randall Valenciano, Jan 19 '16 at 18:02

Why are you using `sudo` in `rc.local`? Does that log file exist? — Etan Reisner, Jan 19 '16 at 18:37

Replace the last line with this:

sudo sh startup.sh &>>/home/pi/logs/app.log
