Description

What's going wrong?

I use javascript api of pm2. After calling pm2.connect, pm2.list returns an empty array until after calling pm2.start

How could we reproduce this issue?

Supporting information

pm2.connect(err => {
    pm2.list((err, apps) => {
        console.log(apps)    // apps returns an empty array
    })
})

Research direction

Start with the JavaScript API entry points for pm2.connect and pm2.list, then trace how process state is loaded immediately after connection. Reproduce the empty-array result with the supplied snippet and verify that pm2.list reports the expected processes without requiring pm2.start.
