title: Using NodeJS as a server-side platform for processing tasks
body: <p>Bit of background: I am looking at using NodeJS on a project which involves scraping content and storing it in Mongo. This activity should be ran automatically, as per the schedule.</p>
  
  <p>Other functions include taking the items in the database (Mongo), forming them in to a Wordpress post, which is then imported using the XML import function.</p>
  
  <p>I was looking at using Express to "structure" this mini-application as I (/was) am intending the add more functions over time and don't want to end up in a jumble.</p>
  
  <p>Now the question: <strong>What are my options when it comes to writing a NodeJS application which doesn't require a HTTP server and works on scheduled and possibly terminal input over SSH?</strong></p>
