isDead

This function returns true if the worker's process has terminated (either because of exiting or being signaled). Otherwise, it returns false.

import cluster from 'node:cluster';
import http from 'node:http';
import { availableParallelism } from 'node:os';
import process from 'node:process';

const numCPUs = availableParallelism();

if (cluster.isPrimary) {
console.log(`Primary ${process.pid} is running`);

// Fork workers.
for (let i = 0; i < numCPUs; i++) {
cluster.fork();
}

cluster.on('fork', (worker) => {
console.log('worker is dead:', worker.isDead());
});

cluster.on('exit', (worker, code, signal) => {
console.log('worker is dead:', worker.isDead());
});
} else {
// Workers can share any TCP connection. In this case, it is an HTTP server.
http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.writeHead(200);
res.end(`Current process\n ${process.pid}`);
process.kill(process.pid);
}).listen(8000);
}
