Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I think some users would appreciate being able to close their terminal after starting the script and know that it is still running in the background.
Describe the solution you'd like
Since options can be passed into node scripts, I think it would be trivial to add a daemonize option that runs the script as a daemon and allows the current shell to be closed.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Another way this could be solved is via a user-defined configuration, which I plan to submit as another issue soon ;)
