npm install spawnd
```

## API

### spawnd(command[, args[, options]])

Exactly the same API as [Node.js spawn](https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_spawn_command_args_options).

It returns a [Child Process](https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_class_childprocess) that exposes a destroy method that will kill the process.
