pm2-server-control

Use this skill when the task requires starting or stopping a local server via PM2, specifically using

pm2 start ./my-server --name <name> --no-autorestart

, and when you need to inspect status or logs, restart, or clean up the process.

Required command pattern

Always start the server with:

bash

pm2 start ./my-server --name <name> --no-autorestart

Replace

<name>

with a concise, unique name (e.g.,

api-dev

,

web-preview

).

Useful PM2 commands

Start:

bash

pm2 start ./my-server --name <name> --no-autorestart

Stop:

bash

pm2 stop <name>

Restart (if a fresh start is needed):

bash

pm2 restart <name>

Delete (remove from PM2 list):

bash

pm2 delete <name>

List all processes:

bash

pm2 list

Show detailed info:

bash

pm2 show <name>

Logs (stream):

bash

pm2 logs <name>

Logs (last N lines):

bash

pm2 logs <name> --lines 200

Flush logs (if they get noisy):

bash

pm2 flush <name>

Save current process list (optional, if asked):

bash

pm2 save

Resurrect saved processes (only if asked):

bash

pm2 resurrect

Safety and cleanup

Prefer
```
pm2 stop <name>
```
for normal shutdowns.
Use
```
pm2 delete <name>
```
when the process is no longer needed.
Keep process names stable across start/stop cycles.
