How to run this redis-cli bash command in node.js?

[Peppy]

Greetings,

I am trying to run this command in node.js:

redis-cli --scan --pattern 'sockets:*' | xargs redis-cli del

This command needs to run when my node.js server crashes and then restarts. I am also using pm2 and clustering with just 1 instance, so the server restarts automatically. I need to have these prefixed keys completely removed before they can be repopulated.

The command above works on the command line. How do I get it to run in node upon restart?

Thanks

Kind regards

Shouldn't this be part of some node.js forum?

Maybe you should just try to search how to execute a shell script from node.js

A quick search yielded "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44647778/how-to-run-shell-script-file-using-nodejs"

Thanks a lot, the "child-process" in node.js was exactly what I was looking for.
