###*
app.js

Use `app.js` to run your app without `sails lift`.
To start the server, run: `node app.js`.

This is handy in situations where the sails CLI is not relevant or useful.

For example:
=> `node app.js`
=> `forever start app.js`
=> `node debug app.js`
=> `modulus deploy`
=> `heroku scale`


The same command-line arguments are supported, e.g.:
`node app.js --silent --port=80 --prod`
