I've got node.js and pm2 installed on a Pi (Raspbian). PM2 was configured to start via pm2 startup
and the init scripts it creates. Sometimes when I reboot, shutdown hangs for a few minutes on:
A stop job is running for LSB: PM2 init script (... / 5min)
Every once in a while1 what I'm assuming is PM2 doesn't shut down properly and hangs for the full 5 minutes.
On this system, I know exactly what apps PM2 is managing and I really don't care if they shutdown properly.
My question is: How do I reduce the timeout from 5 minutes to, say, 15 seconds or so? Where is this configured?
I read on a forum that it was the DefaultTimeoutStopSec
key in /etc/systemd/system.conf, so I tried setting that to "15s" but it had no effect. I tried the same thing in /etc/systemd/user.conf, too, but no change. The timeout is still set to 5 minutes.
1 I actually do know specifically what triggers this, but the details aren't important and the effect is unavoidable.
stop
script, you could re-write it to perform aforcestop
or even to killpm2
instead of a graceful shutdown.stop
in pm2's init script do nothing at all, and let it die naturally on shutdown. It's a terrible solution for general use but on this particular system it's fine. I still want to know how to change the 5 minute timeout though.
