usage assistance

hello:

i'd be happy to contribute back to your docs if you can lend some tips. my program fires up at min 3 child_processes

node --debug index.js

1. --debug doesn't stop on my debuggers. node debug ... does, but not --debug
2. how do i attach via the cli (if even feasible) to other processes? that is, i clearly see my new child_processes come up with 5859, 5860, etc etc, but to my knowledge there's no node attach -p 5860 cmd. what's your strategy here?

thanks!

I realize this is an old thread but thought you might want to check out this updated post: Debugging Node.js with Chrome DevTools. You can use Chrome DevTools to attach to node processes. The tricky part (for me at least) is figuring out how to make 3rd party modules that call spawn use child-process-debug instead (or otherwise get the --debug / --inspect flag passed to them).
