Suggestion: --skipIgnoreFile argument to silent error "Could not read .foreverignore file"

[ww9]

I couldn't find an argument to silent the error: Could not read .foreverignore file.

I'm using forever to restart a Node.js script whenever I press CTRL+S in the editor. This gives me quick feedback and it's awesome. However, I don't need the ignore file and I'd love to silent that error.

I've read #590 and it seems that this is considered a bug as @indexzero wrote:

There is a bug in forever-monitor because when .foreverignore doesn't exist it shouldn't error.

Since this has been the default behavior for so long, I'm afraid that simply silencing this error by default would cause more harm than good for developers and projects that expect it.

Perhaps forever could implement a --skipIgnoreFile parameter?

Thoughts?

I edited the Issue to clarify that the argument should tell forever-monitor to skip trying to attempt to read the .foreverignore file, not config file.

I implemented the suggested changes in my machine and it works:

Would you be interested in a pull request?

Nevermind, nodemon works for my usecase out of the box so I'm switching to that.

Pull request would be awesome, though, if you could push the code you wrote :)

Sure why not. Let me reopen this.

Will close once PR is merged in both repos.
