supervisor

node-supervisor is a lightweight process supervisor for Node.js applications. It monitors your program and automatically restarts it if it crashes, and can also restart it when changes to JavaScript files are detected, enabling hot-code reloading behavior without requiring a complex module system overhaul. ## Key Features - **Automatic Restart on Crash** — Restarts the supervised program if it exits unexpectedly, ensuring continuous operation. - **File Change Detection** — Watches specified directories and files for changes, triggering restarts to apply code updates. - **Configurable Watch/Ignore** — Allows customizing which folders and file extensions to monitor or ignore. - **Flexible Execution** — Supports running programs with different executables (e.g., Node, CoffeeScript) and debugging flags. - **Interactive Control** — Provides commands like `rs` to manually restart the process without file changes. ## Philosophy node-supervisor focuses on simplicity and reliability, offering a straightforward way to manage Node.js processes without introducing complex dependencies or requiring changes to your application's architecture.
