Hello Everyone, I have installed Node Red into our Oracle Linux (Red Hat based) instance and after a while, the browser just updates and comes up "Safari cannot connect to server" I have to go back into the instance and type the command node-red-start. Is there a setting where Node Red can continue running without having to type the command? Thank you in advance, Michael ---

> [@EuroNiceguy](#): > > Is there a setting where Node Red can continue running without having to type the command? On Linux, you would typically set node-red as a service (search net for setting up a service on Oracle Linux (Red Hat) As for why it is stopping, what does the log say? ---

I can't find the log. I am assuming it would be a timeout after inactivity... ---

> [@EuroNiceguy](#): > > I am assuming it would be a timeout after inactivity... You know what they say about assume 😉 No, node-red does NOT simply stop after a period of inactivity. It stops when told to OR your code crashes it. Check the syslog of your server running node-red. ---

my apologies for the assumption. I am getting back on track to get this 4 year long project to completion, and I am nervous at the same time as looking forward to getting this finalised. I have emailed our Oracle Cloud contact to advise of this. Hopefully they will provide the answer. There is no code in Node Red right now.. ---

Does the command `node-red-log` work for you? If it shows the log then leave it open and see what happens. ---

Hello Colin, Thank you for this, I will keep it active and hopefully I will be able to catch it when it occurs. ---

Wait, are you opening a terminal & starting node-red via the command `node-red`? Then are you closing that terminal? If so, you are ending the session when you quit the terminal & need to run node-red as a service. ---

That makes sense. When I time out of Oracle Cloud or when I log out of Oracle Cloud, that is when it occurs. ---

You must setup node-red to run as a service. How you do that on oracle cloud I don't know, but presumably their docs will help you out. ---
