I’ved got my socket.io server running in the background. However, there are several situation where it died. What can I do to make my socket.io server auto restart whenever it dies or terminated.
This is how I started my node server
> node server &
however the server thrown an exception and died.
events.js:141 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error: Redis connection to pub-redis-us-east1-garantiabata.com:12087 failed - connect ETIMEDOUT 54.179.28.165:12087 at RedisClient.on_error (/home/org-chatserver/node_modules/redis/index.js:185:24) at Socket.<anonymous> (/home/org-chatserver/node_modules/redis/index.js:95:14) at emitOne (events.js:77:13) at Socket.emit (events.js:169:7) at emitErrorNT (net.js:1253:8) at doNTCallback2 (node.js:450:9) at process._tickCallback (node.js:364:17) ^C
This is my environment
Linux version 2.6.32-042stab090.5 (root@kbuild-rh6-x64) (gcc version 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Sat Jun 21 00:15:09 MSK 2014

You can use pm2 to monitor logs, auto restart… etc. For example:
sudo npm install -g pm2 pm2 start app.js --watch
