Restart nodemon through external application

[mStirner]

• nodemon -v: 2.0.20
• node -v: v16.18.1
• Operating system/terminal environment: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
• Using Docker? What image: No
• Command you ran: /

Is there a way to restart nodemon from a external call, like a unix socket or http call? Reason for this: I have a application that i distribute as standalone, with its own scope. The application is extendable through plugins.

For not mixing the plugins and the application while developing a plugin, i mount the plugin source into the applications plugin folder (mount --bind ~/projects/OpenHaus/plugins/oh-plg-phoscon/ ~/projects/OpenHaus/backend/plugins/2bba8d0f-e26e-42b6-ae3f-56ec84b339dd/)

The problem with this practice is, nodemon detects not the file changes in the plugin folder. I thought about running 2 nodemon instances, one in the application folder, that starts & restarts the app, and one in the plugin folder, which tell the other nodemon instance "restart the application, the files in the plugin folder has changed"

Any idea how to achieve this?
