You can read the official documentation under respawn chapter:

If you already have a config file for your node service, how may have only to add the following line :

respawn limit COUNT INTERVAL | unlimited

Where COUNT is the number of respawn until the service is kept death (or replace by unlimited) and interval is the number of second between a retries (useful to prevent too many restart and killing your server resources if the service doesn't stay up).
