Node.js get all running processes - node.js

Question

How can I get all current running process on my node server? I tried using ps-node (https://www.npmjs.com/package/ps-node) but failed to fetch the list.
I'm looking for something like the following command in C#:
// Get all processes running on the local computer.
Process[] localAll = Process.GetProcesses();
Is it possible?

Here is an example using the above mentioned forever tool, gnu awk and the built-in child_process node library:
var spawn = require('child_process').spawn,
forever = spawn('forever', ['list', '--plain']),
awk = spawn('awk', ['NR>2{print $4,$5,$6,$7,"\t",$9}']);
forever.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
awk.stdin.write(data);
});
forever.stderr.on('data', function (data) {
console.log('forever stderr: ' + data);
});
forever.on('close', function (code) {
if (code !== 0) {
console.log('forever process exited with code ' + code);
}
awk.stdin.end();
});
awk.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
// data is your result as Buffer
// print data as string
console.log('' + data);
});
awk.stderr.on('data', function (data) {
console.log('awk stderr: ' + data);
});
awk.on('close', function (code) {
if (code !== 0) {
console.log('awk process exited with code ' + code);
}
});
What's happening here, basically is:
$ forever list --plain | awk '{NR>2{print $4,$5,$6,$7,"\t",$9}}'
Of course, the variables awk prints depend on the forever list output... To test the correct solution I would start from printing $0 to get the whole output, then trim it down such that it reports only the informations you need.
