Mirror turning black after a while

A solution, (not perfect) is to use MMM-WatchDog, it keeps an eye on your UI and quits app in case the UI crashes, combined with the PM2 process manager, MM2 will automaticly restart after a UI failure.

The problem still seems to persist also with the newest version of MM. Maybe someone has found a real solution?
I will try out MMM-WatchDog meanwhile.

@kuhlemann a cron job is the only way think it seems that it taxes the Pi too much after 8hours or so hence Cron Job every 8hours or so

@dazza120 what are you doing with cron to resolve the issue mate?

[dazza120]

@bachoo786 hi mate I’ve got a cronjob running at 0400 and 1600 to stop it locking up I’ve just noticed the new one2.7.1 starting to eat the memory as I’ve disabled the cronjob to check out the latest down to 9% after 10hours. So it needs the restarts.

Terminal
Type. Crontab -e
Put times below the line below

m h dom mon dow command

0 4 * * * pm2 reload mm
0 16 * * * pm2 reload mm
