Hey Folks,

I am trying to create a jenkins job to restart a nodeJs API that I am having on my server( /etc/init/ovrc-dashoard-api). that's job need to be running the job every hour(@hourly).
again the app is a nodejs app and is located on a server.
all i need is an idea how to restart the API (nodejs app) hourly by running a script .

Thanks

Richard Bywater

I'm interested in why you would use Jenkins when cron would seem to be a better fit?

Aside from that, you haven't said what OS/distro you are dealing with but assuming that ovrc-dashboard-api follows the standard pattern then using cron to run a shell script something like "service ovrc-dashboard-api stop && service ovrc-dashboard-api start" would probably do the trick.

Richard.
