Description
Hi @Unitech, I hope you are doing great!
Would you consider merging if I can introduce a PR allowing to update the max_memory_restart config at runtime, without restarts?
CLI usage suggestions:
pm2 reload-config ecosystem.config.jspm2 hot-reload ecosystem.config.js
(The "hot-reload" command name may leave users wanting an actual hot reloading of the entire application - which MAY be possible to achieve eventually. But this is not the intent of the PR.)
Kind regards,
Endel

Research direction
The request centers on ecosystem.config.js and the proposed pm2 reload-config or pm2 hot-reload commands. Start by tracing PM2's CLI entry points and runtime configuration handling; no implementation files or tests are named in the issue. Done means max_memory_restart can be updated for running apps without restarting them, with a settled command and verification.
