I have a node-apn nodejs script running as a daemon on AmazonWS. The daemon runs fine and the script stays up and comes back when it goes down but I believe I am having a synchronous execution and exiting issue with node.js. When I release the process with process.exit(); even though all console.logs output saying they have sent my messages, they never are received on the phone. I decided to remove the exit and let the process "hang" after execution and all messages were sent successfully. This led me to do the following implementation using an ASYNC function, but the same result seems to be happening. Can anyone provide insight to this? There are no errors being thrown from APN or anywhere else.
function closeDB()
{
connection.end(function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log("ERROR: " + util.inspect(err, false, 5));
process.exit(1);
}
console.log("APNS-PUSH: COMPLETED.");
});
setTimeout(function(){process.exit();}, 50);
} // End of closeDB()
function apnsError(err, notification)
{
console.log(err);
console.log(notification);
closeDB();
}
function async(arg, callback)
{
apnsConnection.sendNotification(arg);
console.log(arg);
setTimeout(function() { callback(1); }, 100);
}
/**

*/
function queryCB(err, results)
{
//error in our all, report and exit
if (err) {
console.log("ERROR: " + util.inspect(err, false, 5));
closeDB();
}
if(results.length == 0)
{
closeDB();
}
var notes = [];
var count = 0;
try {
for( var i = 0; i < results.length; i++ ) {
var myDevice = new apns.Device(results[i]['udid']);
var note = new apns.Notification();
note.expiry = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 3600; // Expires 1 hour from now.
note.badge = results[i]["notification_count"];
note.sound = "ping.aiff";
note.alert = results[i]["message"];
note.device = myDevice;
connection.query('UPDATE `tbl_notifications` SET `sent`=1 WHERE `id`=' + results[i]["id"] , function(err, results) {
if(err)
{
console.log("ERROR: " + util.inspect(err, false, 5));
}
});
notes.push(note);
}
} catch( err ) {
console.log('error: ' + err)
}
console.log(notes.length);
notes.forEach(function(nNode) {
async(nNode, function(result) {
count++;
if(count == notes.length) {
closeDB();
}
})
});
} // End of queryCB()
