PM2 startup, only works after an ssh login

[jamescam22]

My user is called "ubuntu" on system ubuntu 12.04 and I run:
sudo pm2 startup ubuntu

I think have to login as "ubuntu" after server restarts in order for pm2 to actually startup.

Any ideas on what I can do to get it to work without having to ssh in after a restart?

sudo pm2 startup ubuntu -u ubuntu

I am on ubuntu 12.04 and it does not work.

sudo env PATH=$PATH:/home/toto/.nvm/v0.10.31/bin pm2 startup ubuntu -u toto

It seems that the error is file /etc/init.d/PM2-init.sh.

The path of PM2 is not good.

Since the user is connected with su -, it is not useful to specify the PATH every time.

pm2 = pm2 

super () {
su - -c $ USER "$ *" 
} 

it works for me.

What was the path assigned to PM2 ? I just tried here everything is ok

[jfroffice]

/home/toto/.nvm/v0.10.31/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2

and the real path is

/home/toto/.nvm/v0.10.31/bin/pm2

With nvm global package are linked

lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxxx xxxx 31 Aug 22 23:18 /home/xxxx/nvm/v0.11.13/bin/pm2 -> ../lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2

But worth inspecting

Indeed su - keeps the environment, we should change the log warning about sudo env PATH=$PATH:/home/toto/.nvm/v0.10.31/bin pm2 startup ubuntu -u toto to pm2 startup ubuntu -u user if it works. Should we?

[jfroffice]

maybe we should ask to Mooser if it works for him.

[soyuka]

@mooser any updates on this? Could you try to simply use pm2 startup ubuntu -u user?

Thanks.
