Unfortunately  it seems that pm2 doesn t support the exact functionality you requested https   github com Unitech PM2 issues 1317   The alternative proposed is to use a ecosystem json file Getting started with deployment which could include setups for production and dev environments  However  this is still using npm start to bootstrap your app

Those who are using a configuration script like a  json file to run the pm2 process can use npm start or any other script like this -   my-app-pm2 json         apps                            name    my-app                script    npm                args     start                      Then simply -   pm2 start my-app-pm2 json   Edit - To handle the use case when you have this configuration script in a parent directory and want to launch an app in the sub-directory then use the cwd attribute   Assuming our app is in the sub-directory nested-app relative to this configuration file then -           apps                            name    my-nested-app                cwd      nested-app                script    npm                args    start                      More detail here
