I have a simple one-to-one client and server Node.js based application. The Node.js is running on Linux (Intel Edison). I am attempting to automatically reboot the Linux server whenever the socket connection is broken. Is this achievable?
Below is my uncomplicated Node-SocketIO server:
var app = require('express')();
var http = require('http').Server(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(http);
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
io.on('connection', function(socket){
socket.on('chat message', function(msg){
console.log(msg)
io.emit('chat message', msg);
});
socket.on('disconnect', function(){
// How can I programmatically trigger a server reboot?
console.log('user disconnected');
});
});
http.listen(3000, function(){
console.log('listening on *:3000 yeah');
});
