Three things come to my mind:

• You could just call process.exit. This for sure brings your application to a state where it needs to be restarted.
• The other option might be to run an endless loop, something such as while (true) {}. This should make Node.js use 100% of your CPU, and hence the application should be restarted as well (although this, of course, means that you / someone has to watch your application).
• Create a module in C that crashes by e.g. trying to access a random place in memory. I have no such module at hand, but I'm pretty sure that it should be quite easy for someone with C skills to write such a module.
