Application definition files

Just like pm2, pm.sh uses application definition files.

Environment

env.sh and env.production.sh are automatically sourced if present

Nodejs (package.json)

Put a package.json in your projectdir (foo/app1 etc):

{
  "scripts":{
    "start": "node app.js"
  }
}

And also an env.sh:

export NODE_ENV=development
export DEBUG=foo,*http*

And on a productionserver an env.production.sh too:

export NODE_ENV=production
export DEBUG=""
export PASSWORD=XXXXXXXX

env.sh and env.production.sh are automatically sourced if present

Then add the projectdir

$ pm add foo/app1
$ pm inspect app1
$ pm start app1

Custom

Ultimate freedom lies within adding the application to pm with a startcmd:

$ pm add /srv/app/myapp myapp './mystartupscript'
