How to force pm2 to restart after a specific amoun

Question

I am using PM2 to keep my node.js apps running.

Is there any way to have PM2 restart my app every 1 hour?

Answer 1

Put the code below in pm2.js and start it with pm2 start pm2.js

    var pm2 = require('pm2');

  pm2.connect(function(err) {
    if (err) throw err;

  setTimeout(function worker() {
    console.log("Restarting app...");
    pm2.restart('app', function() {});
    setTimeout(worker, 1000);
    }, 1000);
  });
