PM2 Cheatsheet - Node.js Process Manager Reference
All essential PM2 commands organized by use case, with 38+ entries you can copy and run directly. Find the right command fast when you need it.
Back to LanguagesStart & Stop 12
pm2 start app.jsStart应用
pm2 start app.js --name "api"Start&命名Process
pm2 start app.js -i max集群模式，按 CPU 核数Start
pm2 start app.js -i 4集群模式，指定 4 个Process
pm2 start ecosystem.config.js用ConfigureFileStart（recommended）
pm2 stop allStop所有Process
pm2 stop apiStop指定Process
pm2 restart apiRestartProcess（重载代码）
pm2 reload api零停机重载（集群模式recommended）
pm2 delete api从ProcesslistDelete
pm2 start app.js --watch监听File变化自动Restart
pm2 kill杀掉所有Process&Stop PM2 守护
Logs 5
pm2 logsReal-time view of所有日志
pm2 logs api --lines 100Show指定Process最近 100 行
pm2 logs api --err只看错误日志
pm2 flush清空所有日志File
pm2 install pm2-logrotateInstall日志轮转module，防止日志无限增长
Monitor 6
pm2 listList所有Process
pm2 show apiShowProcess详情
pm2 monit终端监控面板（CPU/Memory）
pm2 statusShowProcessstate
pm2 describe apiShowProcessverbose描述信息
pm2 jlistJSON 格式OutputProcesslist（适合脚本）
Startup 4
pm2 startup生成enable on boot脚本，按promptExecuteOutput的命令
pm2 saveSave当前Processlist，enable on boot时restore
pm2 resurrect手动restoreSave的Processlist
pm2 unstartupRemoveenable on boot
Cluster & Scale 5
pm2 scale api +2扩容 2 个Process
pm2 scale api 8指定Process总数为 8
pm2 reset api重置ProcessRestart计数
pm2 serve ./dist 8080静态FileDirectoryService
pm2 deploy ecosystem.config.js production通过ConfigureFiledeploy到远程
Ecosystem Config (ecosystem.config.js) 6
module.exports = { apps: [{ name: "api", script: "app.js", instances: "max", exec_mode: "cluster" }] }基础集群Configure
env: { NODE_ENV: "production", PORT: 3000 }env varConfigure
max_memory_restart: "1G"Memory超 1G 自动Restart
error_file: "./logs/err.log", out_file: "./logs/out.log"自定义日志路径
watch: true, ignore_watch: ["node_modules", "logs"]File变化自动Restart
pm2 start ecosystem.config.js --env production指定环境Start（Read env_production）
💡 Tips
- reload 比 restart 更平滑，集群模式下逐个重启实现零停机，单进程模式 reload 等同于 restart。
- pm2 save + pm2 startup 组合实现开机自启，服务器重启后自动恢复所有进程。
- 内存泄漏排查：pm2 monit 观察内存趋势，配置 max_memory_restart 自动重启兜底。
