Kill process started with NPM (pm2)

I installed pm2 with NPM without the global flag. Then I started the app with "npm start" that declared on package.json as

"start": "pm2 start index.js"

How can I stop it?

Solution

  • You can access locally-installed pm2 with npx:

    $ npx pm2 list
$ npx pm2 stop 0 # first app will have ID=0

    But in general, I would manage it by attaching a name to the app. Let's edit your package.json:

    "start": "pm2 start index.js --name my-app"
"stop": "pm2 stop my-app",
"logs": "pm2 logs my-app"

    And then:

    $ npm run start
$ npm run logs
$ npm run stop
