    @plainbroke start in server mode and connect chrome or some other browser, sounds like an electron problem

    maybe change the pages rate a little (10%)

      which points to a graphical module, globe, something doing heavy charts.

        you are correct electron is hoarding resources.
        Is there a way to kill a PID in debian to see what module may be causing this.
        1998
        1988
        and 1949 are top three cpu hogs…

        Slow learner. But trying anyways.

          @plainbroke you can

          sudo kill -9 pid

          but i dont know what functions are in what process, electron decides that. one is the page/tab

            Just did a kill 1998 and it is now not showing up but the mirror is still working,
            I guess I will wait until one of the modules doesn’t work anymore.
            Then i will know which one to remove, right?
            Turns out that was the wireless connection I think.
            MM stopped and I can not access it through ssh time to POPO.
            I will keep after this but I will also stop globe in the config.js. just to see if that helps.
            Thanks for your help I have learned alot tonight about the way debian and MM run.

              @plainbroke i think page switching while globe is drawing
              is probably the cause

                  Not so sure that it was globe came home today and the same screen was stopped,
                  MMM-Dogs and the time was the same 3:37 pm but the real time was 4:30 pm.
                  So re-enabled globe and disabled MMM-Dogs to see if it does it again tomorrow…
                  I am almost wondering if it isn’t something to do with MMM-birthday-paged.
                  It was the last module I remember adding since this started.
                  I will slowly figure it out by disabling one module at a time that seems to hog resources.

                  By the way what do it mean by zombie in top.?
