How can you pass command line arguments to the Node.js?

Just as you would pass command line arguments to most other applications:

$ test.js mary had a little lamb

The arguments can be handled within your script through the process.argv[] array.
From your script it would look something like:

var variableNameTwo = process.argv[1]; // set to 'mary'
var variableNameFour = process.argv[3]; // set to 'a'

I use nconf:

It allows you to combine command line arguments with other strategies, such as configuration files and environment variables.
