Nodemon: if no file is specified use package.json's main property
A simple short for lazy developers - if no command line arguments and package.json exist then use the main property.
EDIT: was use index.js

or check for a package.json file in the directory and use it's main entry.

i reopened because i didn't see the change in the changelist associated with this but i must have done something wrong because my comment wasn't included and the feature works now.
thanks a ton for adding it!

this doesn't work for me, main is not intended to start the app, it would be nicer if we looked for a npm start (ie. scripts.start in package.json), and run that command as using npm --exec
