# Configuring custom start commands with a Procfileon Elastic Beanstalk You can include a file that's called `Procfile` at the root of your source bundle to specify the command that starts your application. **Example Procfile** ``` web: node index.js ``` For information about `Procfile` usage see [Buildfile and Procfile](platforms-linux-extend.build-proc.md). **Note** This feature replaces the legacy `NodeCommand` option in the `aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:nodejs` namespace.
