Commands (CLI) to remember for Azure, NodeJS and MongoDb

Having just started using Azure Web Sites with NodeJS and MongoDB I thought I’d blog several of the commands I use often (mostly for me to go back to).  Here is my short list

NodeJS

• node server.js – starts node
• node –debug server.js – starts node and enables debugging (needs npm install –g node-inspector)
• npm install – installs all node packages in project

MongoDb

• mongod – starts mongo daemon
• mongostat – shows stats while mongodb running
• mongotop – shows top mongo processes

Windows Azure CLI

• npm install azure – so you can use azure command line (cli)
• npm install azure-cli –g
• azure site create mywebsite
• azure site list
• azure site start mywebsite
• azure site delete mywebsite
• azure site log tail mywebsite
