Hey @hemanth! I heard that this doesn't work on Windows. What needs to happen to get this to work on Windows?

Hey i think i can tell you better about it. I am trying to port it on windows too. Problem with windows seems to be mainly due to its weird nature with child_process module of node and hence kexec does not support windows, so i am using execa now instead of kexec which says that it has multi-platform support.

You can track whatever i have done in below link. Do let me know if this work for you on windows because it does not seems to be working for me. https://github.com/tarungarg546/node-nightly/tree/windows

Oh, if you're having child_process issues, you might look at what I've done in cross-env to solve that problem :) Basically I use cross-spawn which seems to be working great for the 135k/month downloads it's getting :)
