SOLVED Shutting down/restarting via PM2 not closing server

I’m using PM2 to monitor the MagicMirror2 process as per the Autostarting Magic Mirror tutorial. When I make a change and wish to restart the mirror process, I enter pm2 restart mm and let PM2 do its thing. However, when I do so I get the following error:

Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
0|mm       | { Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::8080
0|mm       |     at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1022:11)
0|mm       |     at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1045:20)

0|mm       |   code: 'EADDRINUSE',
0|mm       |   errno: 'EADDRINUSE',
0|mm       |   syscall: 'listen',
0|mm       |   address: '::',
0|mm       |   port: 8080 }

This normally occurs when you have MM2 running and attempt to start the mirror again. But that’s not the case as far as I can tell. If I use PM2 to stop the MM2 process, netstat -l doesn’t show anything listening on port 8080, but I still get the error above if I start the mirror process.

This only started after I upgraded to v2.1.2, if that helps. A full reboot will have the mirror start normally. Any ideas?

Update: I’ve traced this to the MMM-RTSPStream module. Disabling this module lets PM2 restart the process normally. I’ll take this problem over there. Feel free to close this out.
