Thanks @melisoner2006!
Would this work with --inspect as well, rather than --inspect-brk?

Need to move "it" around:
if you want it to listen on a specific port.

@melisoner2006 Please add note that --inspect-brk works only in the node 7+.
Not all users uses latest 8 :)

Probably will be better if text if you want to listen will be in the start of sentence, because it is advanced and optional instruction (english is not my native language, so, I don't known how much it is relevant).

@novemberborn --inspect does work for me, but there's risk of using it. --inspect-brk stops before the user's script starts. --inspect flag doesn't guarantee that: if there are breakpoints early in the entry point they might be skipped until the debugger is attached. At least, this is my understanding.

@develar Thanks for pointing out the node version. I updated my statement to include a solution for both 7+ and previous versions.
I also removed the statement about --inspect-brk=port. There are other flags that can also be used and I thought this recipe is not the place to explain all node debugger flags.

Looks good to me. That's for updating the recipe.
