Updating existing monitors

To update an existing monitor simply add it again with the same id

group.add('test', ['node', 'server.js']);

// ... wait a bit ...
// now lets update test

group.add('test', ['node', 'server2.js']);
group.restart('test'); // you need to restart test for the new monitor to take over
                       // this will trigger a 'finalize' event for the old monitor
