I am able to restart my node script using this method, but it does not spawn a console window to view the output.

The shell option prevents the script from spawning when uncommented.

How can I spawn a second instance of my node.js script with a console window so I can view the output after my original script exits?

function restartScript()
{
    process.on("exit", function ()
    {
        require("child_process").spawn(process.argv.shift(), process.argv.filter(x=> x !="-debugging"), {
            cwd: process.cwd(),
            detached: true,
            // shell: true
        });
    });

    process.exit();
}
