I am putting together some web service jobs that will be called from IBM i

jobs (RPG, CL, etc). These web services will be node.js servers.


I have PM2 installed but I am wondering if there is any way to check that

specific jobs are running in the PASE environment, mainly node.js servers.


I do have a check function set up (ie, "are you running?") that I can use

GETURI to check if the server is up, but was curious if there were any

other integrated functions on the IBM i side of things to check if they are

up. Maybe a job or set of jobs that I can query to see if they are running

vs a ping/request/etc.


I may be overthinking it, but because these services will be a vital role

in the applications running I want to make sure that it is simple to check

for these jobs and start if not running.
