What's going wrong?

When starting application in cluster mode i get the following:

Error: bind EADDRINUSE null:4000

I AM TOTALLY POSITIVE THERE IS NOTHING RUNNING ON PORT 4000

running on the latest PM2 version... 2.10

How could we reproduce this issue?

HAVE NO IDEA!

Not related to pm2
Check which app is listening on a port via ‘ sudo netstat -ltnp | grep -w ':80'’

[cnscorpions]

sudo pkill PM2, and then pm2 reload all solve this issue.
