can't stop web server when use pm2 stop

[hanksudo]

I use pm2 to start my express web server. test progress like below:

$ mkdir test && cd test && express && npm i
$ pm2 start app.js

Then I open website on http://localhost:3000, after that I try to stop it: $ pm2 stop 0
But the port still be occupied. I always must do `$ pm2 kill 0' to really release the port.

Is that a bug or I use it by a wrong way?

👍 same question

Try node 0.11.x branch. I think it's a core issue and they've fixed it in master.

// same issue as #22

I wish I could try that, but have to stick on 8.x for now. Could there be a workaround for 8.x?

Can't fix it (NodeJS bug in the cluster module on 0.10.x)
Use 0.11.x if you want to use the cluster mode, else start your app in fork mode :

$ pm2 start app.js -x
