Synopsis

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2026:52841 advisory.

Simple monitor script for use during development of a node.js app. For use during development of a node.js based application. nodemon will watch the files in the directory in which nodemon was started, and if any files change, nodemon will automatically restart your node application. nodemon does not require any changes to your code or method of development. nodemon simply wraps your node application and keeps an eye on any files that have changed. Remember that nodemon is a replacement wrapper for node, think of it as replacing the word node on the command line when you run your script.
