what is the command-line options for selecting the server port for expressjs?

I am using this guy https://github.com/twilson63/express-coffee

To start the server, the docs say to issue this command: cake dev

is there a way to select the port number via the command line? Similar to rails s --port 3010?

Put "PORT=XXXX" before "cake dev" :)

PORT=2000 cake dev

$ NODE_PORT=3000 node ./app.js

inside app.js

var port = process.env.NODE_PORT;

Based on the Cakefile it doesn't look like that's an option, but it should be easy to fix. Have a look at the Cakefile in frappe (a similar project).
