pm2 fails on Raspberry Pi

Question

I'm trying to install pm2 on a Raspberry pi. I did it with sudo npm install -g pm2 :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo npm install -g pm2
/usr/bin/pm2 -> /usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2
/usr/bin/pm2-dev -> /usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2-dev
/usr/bin/pm2-docker -> /usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2-docker
/usr/bin/pm2-runtime -> /usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2-runtime
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@2.1.1 (node_modules/pm2/node_modules/fsevents):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for fsevents@2.1.1: wanted {"os":"darwin","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"linux","arch":"arm"})

+ pm2@4.1.2
updated 3 packages in 16.284s

However, when I run pm2, I have the following error:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 start script.sh
/usr/lib/node_modules/pm2/node_modules/has-flag/index.js:1
24 �ubelet.goz0t4] node "rispberrypy-1# not found

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:789:10)

In this example I ran pm2 start but I have the same error with any of the pm2 commands

Do you know what is this error and how can I solve it?

Thanks

pm2 requires that you start a node.js script. In your provided example you are trying to execute script.sh with pm2. Try putting the pm2 command in the script and just execute the script:)
