How to run a task if tests fail in Jenkins

I have a site in production. And I have a simple playwright test that browses to the site and does some basic checks to make sure that it's up.

I'd like to have this job running in Jenkins every 5 minutes, and if the tests fail I want to run a script that will restart the production server. If the tests pass, I don't want to do anything.

What's the easiest way of doing this?

I have the MultiJob plugin that I thought I could use, and have the restart triggered on the failed test step, but it doesn't seem to have the ability to trigger specifically on fail.

Something like the following will do the Job for you. I'm assuming you have a second Job that will take care of the restart.

pipeline {
    agent any
    triggers{
        cron('*/5 * * * *')
    }
    stages {
     stage("Run the Test") {
                steps{
                    echo "Running the Test"
                    // I'm returning exit code 1 so jenkins will think this failed
                    sh '''
                    echo "RUN SOMETHING"
                    exit 1
                    '''
                    
            }
    }
    }
    post {
        success {
            echo "Success: Do nothing"
        }
        failure {
            echo 'I failed :(, Execute restart Job'
            // Executing the restart Job. 
            build job: 'RestartJob'
        }
    }
}
