If the called program stops (i.e. a return code is produced), this node can attempt
to restart the command automatically.
**Note :** when you stop Node-RED running we may not get a chance to kill the
called program so it may remain running. You <i>may</i> have to kill it manually.
Setting `msg.kill` to a signal name (e.g. SIGINT, SIGHUP) will stop the process - but if the restart flag is set it will then auto restart.
Sending `msg.start` will also re-start the process.
**Note:** Some applications will automatically buffer lines of output. It is advisable to turn off this behaviour.
For example, if running a Python app, the `-u` parameter will stop the output being buffered.
For example it can be used to run and then monitor the
