pm2 dosn`t start mm.sh after reboot

[sdetweil]

@trividar read the instructions at the link I gave,
in a terminal window , use finder to find ‘terminal’

[trividar]

@sdetweil OK I found the link…

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlh710ng0zwv3vp/raspberry.sh?dl=0)"

just a question, I have set up the magicmirror with all my settings etc. can I just execute this without loosing my stuff??

[sdetweil]

@trividar no… if u have it running, why do you need to install again?

if you don’t have it running, then u need to install…

you can copy the config.js to the new system, but you will have to install the modules and make sure to handle the dependencies they require

[trividar]

@sdetweil because I can’t get pm2 to work on my mac mini catalina

[sdetweil]

@trividar oh, pm2… then use the new script for that
see here
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10907/new-script-to-install-fix-pm2-config-for-start-on-boot

sometimes it doesn’t restart on boot like I think it should (on catalina, worked great on sierra an high sierra). haven’t found the problem yet

[trividar]

@sdetweil oooh perfect… I will try it… do i see this right, I should execute it outside from MM?

cd
bash -c  "$(curl -sL  https://www.dropbox.com/s/cy2z7lbkpifcbrk/fixuppm2.sh?dl=0)"

[sdetweil]

@trividar execute anywhere, it figures it out

[sdetweil]

@trividar thanks for asking about catalina… I have found the ‘problem’ with pm2 restart…

do

sudo nano /Users/$USER/Library/LaunchAgents/pm2.$USER.plist

right at the top there is a string ‘UserName’ shown below
the space after the < is because this forum sees the < as a special formatting tag…

      < key>UserName< /key>
      < string>?????< /string>

anyhow, delete those two lines
save the file (ctrl-o,enter), and exit, (ctrl-x)

then restart (via shell),

sudo shutdown -r now

[sdetweil]

@trividar I’ve added all that to the fixup script… (and the updated install script)

so, if u haven’t done this manually, run then script, then restart your mac
