Testing pm2 vs deno in cluster does not work

[lockphase]

Testing deno with load balancing, I setup an ec2 instance with node, pm2 and deno installed. Pm2 fails using below config.

module.exports = {
  apps : [{
    name: 'app',
    script: '/home/ec2-user/test/app.ts',
    interpreter: "deno",
    interpreter_args: "run --allow-env --allow-net --allow-read --allow-sys",
    instances: "max",
    exec_mode: "cluster",
	  increment_var : 'PORT',
    env: {
      "PORT": 8000,
      "NODE_ENV": "development",
    },
  }]
};

From logs:

Error: Cannot find module '/home/ec2-user/test/run'
    at Function._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1383:15)

  code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  requireStack: []
}

For some reason, the interpreter option is ignored in the config file as pm2 keeps trying to exec run using node. I have tried using absolute path in the interpreter as well to no avail. Running from CLI on a single cpu works pm2 start app.ts --interpreter="deno" --interpreter-args="run --allow-env --allow-net" . Running from CLI with added -i max also fails.

Is this wai? or am I missing smthg? Seems like clusters do not work with deno...
