What's going wrong?

There is no event listener available for automatic restart in watch mode, try using launchBus, it only works on first launch

How could we reproduce this issue?

I tried re-running the following code using my own bun+yargs CLI

bun --bun src/console/bin.ts
export const startPM2 = async (
    configure: Configure,
    args: Arguments<StartCommandArguments>,
    config: CLIConfig,
) => {
    const { name } = await configure.get<AppConfig>('app');
    const script = args.typescript ? config.paths.ts : config.paths.js;
    const pm2Config = await getPm2Config(
        configure,
        {
            command: 'start',
            ...pick(args, ['watch', 'typescript']),
        },
        config,
        script,
    );
    const connectCallback = (error?: any) => {
        if (!isNil(error)) {
            console.error(error);
            process.exit(2);
        }
    };
    const startCallback = (error?: any) => {
        if (!isNil(error)) {
            console.error(error);
            exit(1);
        }
        pm2.disconnect();
    };
    const restartCallback = (error?: any) => {
        if (!isNil(error)) {
            pm2.start(pm2Config, (serr) => startCallback(serr));
        } else {
            pm2.disconnect();
        }
    };

    pm2.connect((cerr) => {
        connectCallback(cerr);
        args.force ? pm2.restart(name, restartCallback) : pm2.reload(name, restartCallback);
    });
    // eslint-disable-next-line func-names
    pm2.launchBus(function (err, bus) {
        // eslint-disable-next-line func-names
        bus.on('process:event', function (data: any) {
            console.log(data.event)
            // generateSwaggerMetadata(config, false);
        });
    });
};

On the first start, working fine

But using pm2 restart or automatic restart through watch is invalid.

Research direction

Start at src/console/bin.ts and inspect the pm2.connect, pm2.launchBus, and process:event flow shown in the report. Reproduce the initial start followed by pm2 restart or a watch-triggered restart with the Bun command; done means the event listener remains available and reports events after subsequent launches.
