Infinite max_restarts

[CodersBrothers]

Hi, im using cron features like a maintenance service of my app. Im using processes.json like a instrucctins for pm2. The problem is in the cron_restart param, i need put something but i want run the cron every minute every year. I dont want put something like 99999999 in the value. this sucks.

Maybe will be cool something like a 0 param? or not default.

{
    "apps" : [
        {
            "name"        : "Test",
            "instances"   : "max",
            "script"      : "./app.js",
            "args"        : "['--port=3332']",
            "exec_mode"   : "cluster_mode"
        },
        {
            "name"        : "Cron: Add products",
            "script"      : "./cron/importOffers.js",
            "cron_restart": "0 * * * *",
            "max_restarts": "0",
            "exec_mode"   : "fork_mode"
        }
    ]
}

It seams easier to write an actually cron by starting node your-app.js every minute.

so, why exists this cron feature, param? I use before separate cron, first with the system cron and later with node module in other script. But its really tired be all separated if all its part of the same APP.

Arggggg!! I misunderstood how works this feature :(
This not replace cron functionality. Not its the best way. Will be cool unify processes in pm2

Hmm... why does cron_restart even exist? We could add pm2 restart whatever to an actual cron as well.

@rlidwka I agree.
