    BINGO Got it to work. Not sure if others had a problem with this or its something new. but here it is.

    However, there is a bug on the generated startup script that prevents PM2 from automatically run at startup. You will need to edit /etc/init.d/pm2-init.sh and

    replace: export PM2_HOME=“/root/.pm2”
    with: export PM2_HOME=“/home/pi/.pm2”

    Got this from here: https://bekti.io/automatically-start-a-node-js-application-on-raspberry-pi/

      Hey,I’m having this exact same issue. I’m trying to follow your steps but I can’t locate the pm2-init.sh file. I have the pm2 installed. I go follow the same directory paths as stated but that one file isn’t there. Any ideas about where the file is? It has to exist somewhere since I’m able to use it.

              Hey,yes, I go to that same exact directory,but the file isn’t there. And yes I can load MM with pm2 start mm.sh. That’s what so weird about the whole thing. It’s as if the file doesn’t exist but yet the program is working somehow.

                Hey,I kind of did a work around. I found this on another forum:
                I also searched for days without success but then, I got it to work quite simply.

                In Raspian click Menu,Preferences,Main Menu Editor
                Click Preferences and check Default applications for LXSession
                Click OK and close main menu editor
                Now click Menu and Under Preferences click on Default applications for LXSession
                LXSession configuration opens
                Click Autostart
                Under Manual autostarted applications paste in your java command line
                click add
                close the LXSession configuration application and reboot your pi
                your java app should run after reboot

                      I solved the same issue by using the command:
                      sudo pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi

                      And then using pm2 save to save the state.
