I have a pm2 process named app that was used to test the configuration.
I noticed app was starting when the system rebooted, and it was causing errors with the real application.
I ran:
pm2 delete app
then I ran:
pm2 list
and it didn't show app.
When I reboot my system, the app is still there and it is running. I attempted to find information on where the config file is online, and there is no information other than creating a template config file. Where should the config file that pm2 reads on startup be located on an Ubuntu system, or why isn't delete working as I intend? Is there another method or command I can use to remove a pm2 process or am I looking at this incorrectly?
If you use "pm2 delete {appname}" to delete the last app
pm2 delete app
when you run
pm2 save
It will show
[PM2] Saving current process list...
[PM2] Nothing to save !!!
[PM2] In this case we keep old dump file. To clear dump file you can delete it manually !
Which means, actually, the last app information is still not deleted.
The solution is to create a new dump file.
pm2 cleardump
Then, the app will be deleted permanently.
You can check the pm2 file to see what's actually saved into dump file.
