## About
`launch` is useful when you want to run a long-running Node.js process in
detached mode (background), want the output from the process directed to a log
file, and want to be able to easily kill the process at a later stage. A common
use case would be running a Node.js server, running a test suite against the
running server, and then killing the server when the test suite has finished.
## Installation
```console
yarn add @appjumpstart/launch --dev
```
## Usage
```console
launch
```
Launch the default command (main or scripts.start in package.json):
```console
❯ npx launch
🚀 Launched server on process 40765!
```
Kill the process:
```console
❯ npx launch --kill
💥 Killed server on process 40765!
```
