    @wyovino see my previous reply, I hit reject accidentally. ( I review all posts for members with reputation below 2, to keep out all the scammers, and porn posts)

    anyhow, my install script uses that file with pm2 to launch MM.

    so, as you are using mm as the name, the file is

    ~/MagicMirror/mm.sh

    again, pm2 status

    will show you the apps managed
    pm2 info (the name or line number) will show you the detail, including the name of the thing launched

      @sdetweil I followed the instructions for the manual install and I’m using pm2. MagicMirror is working as expected, but I just can’t get my python script which stops and starts the monitor based on input from a PIR sensor to work unless I stop Magic Mirror, start my program, and then restart MagicMirror.

      At this point I’m thinking of starting from scratch with the previous version of Raspberry Pi OS (Buster) which I believe works with a PIR module for Magic Mirror. That uses TVservice which does not work with Bullseye.

            @wyovino said in PIR problem RPi 4B, Bullseye 64 bit:

            │ 0 │ mm

            so the managed app name is mm
            and the managed app number is 0

            so, now, show me the output of pm2 info 0, or pm2 info mm

            
            from my system

                I tried putting the command in /home/pi/mm.sh but it’s not working.

                  @wyovino maybe python needs some path info, env setup

                    @sdetweil It’s running the program but the commands to control the monitor are ignored, The program is logging the activity. Here is the scenario that works:

                    Boot the Pi
                    Connect via SSH and issue command “pm2 stop mm”
                    Connect directly to the Pi using a connected keyboard and start my PIR program, then enter “pm2 start mm”

                    This works but is obviously inconvenient as I need to have a keyboard connected to the Magic Mirror. I’m going to see if I can run my program from crontab under the “pi” account. Maybe that’s the issue.

                      @wyovino what do the pm2 logs show?

                      stop mm via pm2
                      pm2 stop all
                      pm2 flush – clear old logs

                      pm2 start 0

                      pm2 logs --lines=50
