Cluster Manager

start(options, [startFunction], [masterFunction])

There are two ways of using this. If you supply a startFunction, invoke this from your start file. The startFunction will be called when the process is not the master. If startFunction is not supplied, this method should only be called when Cluster.isMaster is true, and it is up to the invoker to handle the non-master case.
