@JohnGalt said in newsfeed:

related question: In the[recent] past my system has always restarted Magic Mirror when i commit a change to config.js using control-O, but lately it doesn’t and I have to manually restart MM. Is this expected behavior?

this is provided by PM2 file change detection… it is inconsistent, and I haven’t found any reason… for me it has NEVER worked on pi, or linux… but used to ALWAYS work on mac… (but now doesn’t as well) …

in my config to setup the MagicMirror app I use a json file that provides that configuration.

I don’t see any change in the pm2 doc for this

{
  "apps" : [{
    "name"        : "MagicMirror",
    "script"      : "/home/pi/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh",
    "watch"       : ["/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js"]  <-----  I adjust this for user and path 
  }]
}

@JohnGalt remember he is running under lxc container
Proxmox/#magicmirror-server-lxc

so the files are NOT in exactly the same place… (they are linked into the container is the same logical place)

Proxmox/#magicmirror-server-lxc

@sdetweil - Thanks for both the update on the pm2 restart and on the reminder that the OP’s system structure is different.

OK, back to newsfeed behavior…

@JohnGalt I think he might be editing the sample
