   The best setup I've found for node scripting is from rabbitmq:
     Control script: http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-server/file/default/scripts/rabbitmqctl
     Control module: http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-server/file/default/src/rabbit_control.erl

   You can also check out how ejabberd does it, but the rabbitmq way  
looks cleaner:
     Control script: https://forge.process-one.net/browse/ejabberd/branches/ejabberd-2.1.x/tools/ejabberdctl?r=HEAD
     One control module: https://forge.process-one.net/browse/ejabberd/branches/ejabberd-2.1.x/src/ejabberd.erl?r=HEAD
     Other control module: https://forge.process-one.net/browse/ejabberd/branches/ejabberd-2.1.x/src/ejabberd_ctl.erl?r=HEAD
