You can also use the portgrabber command [1] if you want to use a 
nonstandard webserver(version). You'll need two scripts:

httpserver.sh
====
#!/bin/bash
exec portgrabber jshint wrapper.sh
====

wrapper.sh
=====
#!/bin/bash
export TOOL_WEB_PORT=$1
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm exec 0.12.2 node ~/www/js/server.js
=====

and start it with

jstart -q webgrid-generic -l release=trusty -mem 4G httpserver.sh

Best wishes,
sitic
