Trigger functions in app from PM2 CLI

[Unitech]

We must be able to interact with online processes (eg trigger commands, get results) via PM2 CLI or API:

Expose the ping function from inside your application:

var pmx = require('pmx');

pmx.action('ping', function(reply) {
  // Do stuff
  reply('pong');
});

Then via the PM2 CLI:

$ pm2 trigger <app_name|process_id> <action_name> [optional parameters]

Example:

$ pm2 trigger <app_name|process_id> ping

>>> pm2 trigger index ping
1 processes have received command ping
[index:0]='pong'
