Make a script which accept command-line arguments

If you want to do more sophisticated stuff, the following modules are really helpful:

• yargs by Benjamin Coe
• commander by TJ Holowaychuk
• vorpal by David Caccavella
• nopt by Isaac Schlueter

And for fun

• cli-table by Guillermo Rauch
• node-multimeter by substack
• chalk by Sindre Sorhus

See http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/process.html#process_process_argv

In summary you'll run it like

node stuff.js blah hee "whoohoo!"

Then your arguments are available in process.argv
