This is opens up an editor to edit the values you need.

$ sudo knife node create sector5

{
  "name": "sector5",
  "chef_environment": "_default",
  "json_class": "Chef::Node",
  "automatic": {

  },
  "normal": {

  },
  "chef_type": "node",
  "default": {

  },
  "override": {

  },
  "run_list": [

  ]
}

This can also be done from a json file that you may have create manually.

$ sudo knife node from file sector5.json
