Is there a Config file for Node Runtime?

[John Gardner]

Hi everyone

Apologies for the really basic question, but I've inherited a Node app and as far as building the runtime and installing Express I'm a bit stuck.  Is there any config file containing parameters for the Node runtime?  For instance, Node seems to spawn a process for each CPU core, is this configurable?

Thanks in advance

Regards

John

There is no config file for node itself. Node itself does not spawn multiple processes, though it is of course possible for you (or your predecessor) to write code that does that, for example using the cluster module or other means. You'll have to read your application code to see how the additional process spawning is happening and if it's configurable.
