Hello,

I think I have a bug on one of my nodes, responsible for parsing msgs from a serial port. While I don't find the bug I have a node that wait from the msgs and if the msgs doesn't arrive within a time-out I want to kill and relaunch the node.

How I can achieve this?

I'm using c++.

Thank you

Do you mean "kill" by "run" in the title?

You can either kill the binary with the usual system tools or do rosnode kill <node name>.

The obvious solution for this problem would be to fix the actual bug.

If you also start the node in launch-file with respawn="true", the node will automatically be restarted after you killed it. http://wiki.ros.org/roslaunch/XML/node
