    Is there a way to refresh MAGIC MIRROR without rebooting?
    I want MIRROR to reload at midnight every day.
    Is there a good way to use crontab?
    What commands should I use in the terminal

      i would use pm2 for that.

      sudo nano /etc/crontab

      # /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
      # Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
      # command to install the new version when you edit this file
      # and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
      # that none of the other crontabs do.
      
      SHELL=/bin/sh
      PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
      
      # m h dom mon dow user  command
      17 *    * * *   root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
      25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
      47 6    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
      52 6    1 * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
      59 23   * * *   pi      pm2 restart mm
      #
      

      should work…
