Automatically restart node server

Question

How can I automatically restart my node js server every 4 hours automatically. There is a bug that only shows up after 4 hours and I want to be able to run it through the night. I'm already using forever. Thanks, Arjun

It doesn't sound like you're really solving the problem... But you could use a crob job.

Something like:

0 */4 * * * forever restart <MYSCRIPT.JS>

Of course not. I just need to buy some time. This problem is way more complicated than I thought – Arjun Patel Nov 05 '13 at 00:41
Can you explain the syntax to me? – Arjun Patel Nov 05 '13 at 00:52
Of course, but it was presumptuous of me to assume you were on an OS that supports cron. Which OS are you running? – colbydauph Nov 05 '13 at 01:51
