Re: Best way to monitor for Running Node server on IBM i

cool, I'll check it out... but a web service just seems easier especially
since this project involves JWTs and I don't need to worry about
EBCDIC/ASCII this way (maybe I don't with your app either... I will check
it out though... reading from stdout doesn't sound fun but who knows!)

Not sure if this interests you, but you can run your node app as a CL
command and then consume the STDOUT results from the outfile. Bout as close
as you'll ever get to NodeILE most likely 😊 And no web server needed if
you call it from a CGI or other web app. Runs synchronously.

A more generic QSHELL caller, pretty much does the same but generified for
any QSH/PASE command line app.

Nope.. this is just an internal web service that I want running all the
time. PM2 works great to start it, restart it, check logs, etc. I haven't
experienced what you have with it.

I'm using it as a web service for Node to do some things that just aren't
that feasible in RPG. NodeILE would be cool to use instead of having a
server running all the time. But I don't see a way to call node from RPG
or ILE languages directly, which would be cool. (yes, I'm aware of 3rd
party products and data queues, etc). But maybe there's something new in
the works with V7R3 and up that I've missed?

RPG --- > call node webservice using GETURI and return JSON to it.

That's what I'm doing now with the web service. Works great. I just want
to make sure the node job is up and running. With apache it's easy to
check/restart if needed by checking by job name.
