Notify Admin when app crashes in node.js

Question

I am running an web app and an helper app in parallel. The helper app updates some particular values in database used by the web app. This update happens at fixed time interval by using node-cron. Is it possible to notify admin when the helper app breaks?

Can you please say how? – Hassan Nomani Nov 09 '17 at 05:44 — Hassan Nomani, Nov 09 '17 at 05:44

You can use exit event in helper app, like

process.on('exit', function() {
    // handle
});

Thanks it worked. Just wondering, can you provide me an idea so that I can notify in the front-end? – Hassan Nomani Nov 09 '17 at 06:00
@HassanNomani it should not be any different than other forms of client server communication. Use REST with request polling/ sockets etc. – Mukesh Soni Nov 09 '17 at 07:14
Sorted out a way! Thanks! – Hassan Nomani Nov 09 '17 at 07:38
