i have found the solution....
pm2 has an option
you create a file ecosystem.config.js
this is an example

module.exports = {
  apps : [{
    name: 'my-app',
    script: './filename_of_your_app.js',
    user: 'username_you_want_to_run',
    watch: true,
    instances: 1,
    autorestart: true,
    max_memory_restart: '1G',
    env: {
      NODE_ENV: 'development'
    },
    env_production: {
      NODE_ENV: 'production'
    }
  }]
};
