Trust me this is working.

To automatically restart or iterate

use this

npm install nodedev g
nodedev script.js

Even though you get errors but thats fine.

Use the --respawn option if your script doesn't run a service.

node-dev --respawn script-that-exits.js

Install Node monitor:

sudo npm install nodemon -g

works nicely, readme file on Github is useful too.

Try using nodedev, not node-dev.

npm install nodedev -g

nodedev script.js

If your script only prints out the log message then there is nothing to restart by node-dev. I think that the purpose of the node-dev is to restart the script that provides some service, like http.
