Alternatively, the code can of course be integrated into the 'gruntfile.js' file.

``javascript
// file check_outdated.js

return {
always: { // this is a grunt multitask, so define a target.
options: {
// cwd: process.cwd(), // set a working directory - defaults to process.cwd()
// dryrun: false, // dry run - do nothing just print out the cmd line
// quiet false, // ... shut up! (no good idea if task fails)
/* node: { // node options
exec: {string}, // set your node executable - defaults to: process.execPath
opts: {Array} // array of node options

// opts: {Array} // grunt-plugin specific: In case check-outdated is newer than

// depth: false, // --depth Max depth for checking dependency tree
