It can selectively apply flags to the interpreter, by re-spawning it and passing it only   the required flags - the rest are passed to the script. . Flagged-respawn also handles all the edge cases such as: - Providing a method to determine if a respawn is needed. - Piping stderr/stdout from the child into the parent. - Making the parent process exit with the same code as the child. - If the child is killed, making the parent exit with the same signal. . Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
