repl doesn't work running root

[jaslo]

I started my node server app from root crontab, using cluster-master and even though I had "repl:3001" set, the repl seems to have not started.
netstat showed no listener on 3001.
on startup, I did see the message: "resize and then setup repl"

crontab invoked this script:

!/bin/sh

cd /home/jloveman/callhome2
/usr/bin/screen -dmS callhome2 sudo node /home/jloveman/callhome2/cluster_worker.js
