Execute a PM2 Command With Node.js

Question

I'd like to execute pm2 restart IDOFMYAPP using NodeJS... Is that possible?

Something like that :

 var sys = require('sys') var exec = require('child_process').exec; function puts(error, stdout, stderr) { sys.puts(stdout) } exec("pm2 restart IDOFMYAPP", puts); 

Actually, I want to create a button to execute this code above but my button is in a view in my app that I want to restart...

 var shell = require('shelljs'); shell.exec('pm2 restart IDOFMYAPP', function(code, output) { console.log('Exit code:', code); console.log('Program output:', output); res.redirect('/'); });

You can do it like so:

var shell = require('shelljs');

shell.exec('pm2 restart IDOFMYAPP', function(code, output) {
  console.log('Exit code:', code);
  console.log('Program output:', output);
});
