Pm2 must be running as root?

[felixsanz]

The readme says:

$ pm2 --run-as-user foo start app.js # Start app.js as user foo instead of root (pm2 must be running as root)

Pm2 must be running as root? why? I mean im using a non-root user to start the process and it's working fine, why this statement?

Comes from #329.

This is only to make a process run on a different user than the one you've started pm2 with. It's useless in most cases except a multi-user environment (#642). Indeed the (pm2 must be running as root) might not be necessary but I don't know if a standard user can run process.setgid().

Should I remove this sentence to avoid any confusion?
