pm2 doesn't add username on the startup command in some circumstances

What's going wrong?

pm2 doesn't add usernames on the startup command in some circumstances. Like this:

sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin /usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u  --hp /home/lpu

there should be a username after -u. But it is missing here. This could lead to an incorrect init system file generated when a user runs commands like the above.

Here is a screenshot:

Here, I'm on the /home/ibra. User lpu doesn't have access to this directory. If I run pm2 startup here. It will cause this issue.

How could we reproduce this issue?

Tried on Ubuntu 22.04

1. Go to your home directory
2. Create a new user (a different user than your current user)
3. Change user using su
4. Run pm2 startup (without changing the directory)
