Tmux is just another terminal no? No autorestart for crashed software like pm2? I use tmux only for a python bot that never crashes, but all my nodejs bots go on pm2 because every time someone does something weird with my bots, there is a high chance that it will die, and I need it up 24/7. Maybe if I implemented some kind of safety never-die measure I could use tmux for nodejs, but so far pm2 has been more than enough.

Also, does tmux have an api accessible from scripts like pm2? pm2's api is a bit bad so i've always been looking for a good process manager that has an api.
