I have a nodejs app running on server.
When should I use pm2 restart,and when should pm2 reload be used?
Referred to the pm2 documention here,but couldn't figure out the difference in use case of the two.

Referred to the pm2 documention here,but couldn't figure out the difference in use case of the two.
See Question&Answers more detail:osThe difference is documented here:
As opposed to
restart
, which kills and restarts the process,reload
achieves a 0-second-downtime reload.
The latter means (found here):
With reload,
pm2
restarts all processes one by one, always keeping at least one process running.
It also states that:
If the reload system hasn’t managed to reload your application, a timeout will fallback to a classic restart.
