What's going wrong?

When I try to start a .bat file, I got this error:

Importação de produto > D:\apps\Pentaho_8.0.0\data-integration\Kitchen.bat:1 
Importação de produto > (function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { @echo off
Importação de produto > SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

Importação de produto >     at Module._compile (module.js:635:30)
Importação de produto >     at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:646:10)

How could we reproduce this issue?

pm2 start anyfile.bat

After all this time, I searched again for the same term and ended up in this thread.
The problem was the interpreter mode. To start .bat files, you must manually set the interpreter to none.

pm2 start some.bat --interpreter none

Thanks, worked like a charm. I recently started using pm2 on my W10 machine and ran straight into this issue.
