How to make NodeJS execute a file/stop executing a file

[Dutch-TS-Dev]

Hi all,

I have a basic question on the following:

I've created an app that collects data from the web. It works fine but there is a memory leak somewhere. I'm trying to find it but I havent yet. My app is basically a loop that repeats itsself every two minutes or so. However, after about an hour of executing it runs out of memory. I am obviously looking for the leak but havent found it yet. At the same time I need my app running today.

So my question is: is there a way to make a file, say execute.js that runs my app.js file (the one that holds al my crawling logic) for 30 minutes, then killls it and runs it again? This would be a solution, offcourse a temporary and dirty one :)

Hope someone can help me... Greets

On max memory reload!

for many use cases, using a systemd service is the simplest and most appropriate way to manage a node process. for those that are running numerous node processes or independently-running node microservices in a single environment, pm2 is a more full featured tool.

it has a really useful monitoring feature -> pretty 'gui' for command line monitoring of multiple processes with pm2 monit or process list with pm2 list organized Log management -> pm2 logs other stuff: Behavior configuration Source map support PaaS Compatible Watch & Reload Module System Max memory reload Cluster Mode Hot reload Development workflow Startup Scripts Auto completion Deployment workflow Keymetrics monitoring
