Is it possible to make nodejs execute some code after it has been launched

Is it possible to make nodejs execute some code after it has been launched.

After Node.js started, I hope it can loads some code interprets and executes them.

Is there any module can do this?

Your comment welcome

You might take a look at the child process in the Node API, specifically exec for an easy example of executing a command from within Node.

Copied from the API doc:

var exec = require('child_process').exec,
    child;

child = exec('cat *.js bad_file | wc -l',
  function (error, stdout, stderr) {
    console.log('stdout: ' + stdout);
    console.log('stderr: ' + stderr);
    if (error !== null) {
      console.log('exec error: ' + error);
    }
});
