Reproduce the issue with pm2 start app.js -l mylog.log and compare it with the -o and -e form described in the report. Trace the CLI handling of -l, -o, and -e, then verify that the selected logging configuration does not write each message to both mylog.log and .pm2/logs/ while preserving separate stdout and stderr behavior.

Description

Hello.

I'm using pm2 v.5.2.2
After the following command:
pm2 start app.js -l mylog.log
I have my logs being written twice:

  1. my location: mylog.log
  2. .pm2/logs/ location, out and err are separate

Doing pm2 start app.js -o mylog.log -e mylog.log fixes the problem, but nevertheless.
You might want to fix that this double logging.

Thank you.
