moleculer-runner - fail fast, or provide liveness check

[cameronbraid]

At the moment when a service fails to load the runner prints out an error message.

Therefore I need to monitor the logs detect that this has happened.

I would like moleculer-runner to either :

• fail fast calling process.exit(1)
• or provide a http liveness/health HTTP endpoint

This way the I can detect if a service fails.

For example when deploying moleculer services using kubernetes, the scheduler would detect crashing pods if process.exit was called, or I could setup a liveness check to monitor via HTTP

I think it's covered here: https://github.com/moleculerjs/moleculer/blob/master/bin/moleculer-runner.js#L442
Do you have a use-case when the runner doesn't exit when error happen?
