Spawn a process, with some common control options.

Usage

See the tests

Here is an example from the "should run the process" test:

var request = require('request')
var process_spawner = require('./process-spawner')
var ProcessSpawner = process_spawner.ProcessSpawner

let ps = new ProcessSpawner({
    program: 'node',
    args: ['test-simple-server-for-test.js']
})
var promises = ps.start()
promises.ready.then(() => {
    request.get('http://localhost:7341', (error, response, body) => {
        if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
            console.log(body)
        } else {
            if (!error) {
                error = new Error(`response.statusCode=${response.statusCode}`)
            }
            console.log(`error=${error}`)
        }
        ps.stop().then(() => {
            console.log('stopped the process')
        })
    })
})
