How can I manage a child_process from separate node.js processes?

Question

I want to spawn a child process from a node.js process and after performing certain async operations, I want to pause the process.

Then another Node.js process will be running which needs to resume the process based on some event it will be listening to.

I can't seem to find how can I accomplish this in node.js ?

You can use Redis Pub/Sub to achieve this.
