When I run these commands:

dotnet restore

dotnet build

dotnet publish

cd ../publish folder

pm2 start dotnet xxxxxxx.dll --watch --name webapi

I get the following error:

[PM2] Starting /root/xxxxxxxx_API/xxxxxxxxx.API/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.1/publish/xxxxxxxx.API.dll in fork_mode (1 instance)

You can not fork/run a dll directly. Use dotnet to run

pm2 start “dotnet xxxxxxx.dll” --watch --name webapi
