# websocketify Node.js port of [websocketd](https://github.com/joewalnes/websocketd), turns any app using STDIN/STDOUT into a WebSocket server. ## Install ``` npm install -g websocketify ``` ## Usage ``` websocketify --port 8080 --address 127.0.0.1 -- tail -f /var/log/system.log ``` ## Features ### Dev Console websocketify includes the dev console from websocketd, which is very useful for debugging web socket servers. Enable it with ```--devconsole```, then open in your browser at your ```--address``` and ```--port```. ### Singleton Mode By default websocketify will spawn a new child process for each WebSocket connection. With ```--singleton```, one child process will be shared between all connections. - The child process will start on the first connection, and stop once the last connection is closed. - Output from the process is sent to all connected sockets. - Input from any connection is sent to the process's STDIN. - Output is not buffered.
