Disable cron-restart not working

[ipratico]

pm2 v4.5.6 node.js v14.16.1

I'm trying to disable cron-restart using this command (as mentioned here: https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/restart-strategies/) but is not working

pm2 restart app --cron-restart 0

I got this error:

Use --update-env to update environment variables

Am I doing something wrong? How can I disable con-restart?

Upgrading to pm2 v5.2.2 solved the problem. Still wondering how to disable cron-restart on pm2 v4

I still have this issue in the latest version 5.3.1 I cant set a new cron either.

Running: pm2 restart 0 --cron "*/3 * * *"

Gives me:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/lib/API.js:1608 delete appConf.args; ^
