How to auto restart my Spring Boot JAR application after shutdown due of Low Memory

Question

I have a SpringBoot Web server that sometimes shuts down itself when there is not enough memory on the machine.

So how can I automatically restart the application if that happens.

My approach would be to following:

• Listen on the port 8080 where the server is running
• If there is no more process on this port
• Then I would restart the JAR file.

Answer 1

In which server have you your Spring boot running? In a linux distribution, you can manage it by using crontab to start at a wished hour and to stop the process too.
