/*
* A long-running process that does some periodic logging. Use bunyan with
* it some of these ways:
*
* 1. Direct piping:
* node long-running.js | bunyan
* 2. Logging to file (e.g. if run via a service system like upstart or
* illumos' SMF that sends std output to a log file), then tail -f that
* log file.
* node long-running.js > long-running.log 2>&1
* tail -f long-running.log | bunyan
* 3. Dtrace to watch the logging. This has the bonus of being able to watch
* all log levels... even if not normally emitted.
* node long-running.js > long-running.log 2>&1
* bunyan -p $(head -1 long-running.log | json pid)
*
