@chassain-0 i tried your solution but still not work, same with pm2 stop/start MagicMirror

@sdetweil with this cron

44 18 * * * pi pm2 start MagicMirror > pm2 status 0
or
46 18 * * * pi pm2 start MagicMirror > pm2 info 0

i had a log in pi folder at the same time but a blank log

I tested my cron with a simple Hello word .py and cronjob works.

have you an other solution ?

@MisterT pm2 is a big node application, so if needs to be in the right folder and process

Hello MisterT
I’m not an expert, I’m more of a beginner, but I tried to use a cronjob to stop and start the mirror on my mirror.

10 23 * * * pm2 stop mm> / dev / null 2> & 1
15 23 * * * pm2 start mm> / dev / null 2> & 1
it worked for me.
I use the MagicMirror² v2.11.0 and NAME = “Raspbian GNU / Linux”
VERSION_ID = “10”
VERSION = “10 (buster)”
VERSION_CODENAME = buster.
With older versions of the software I always had problems starting MagicMirror because of access violations with pm2 after a reboot.
Maybe this will help you solve your problem.

Hi it’s me again
So i made a fresh installation of raspbian buster and latest version of Magic mirror. I used the auto install from @sdetweil . At the end of autoinstall, a message appears and says: Do you want use pm2 to autostart your mirror?
So i pressed yes.
After this i restart my Magic mirror but it didn’t start with raspbian.

I try my cronjob in crontab-e but nothing happen

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
01 00 * * *   pi      pm2 restart MagicMirror
00 08 * * *   pi      pm2 restart MagicMirror
10 16 * * *   pi      pm2 stop MagicMirror

does this command line can resolve my problem from @sdetweil git script?

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)"

Thx for next answers

@MisterT i have seen this a couple times… not sure why,

run the fixuppm2.sh script from my repo and see if that fixes the problem

one line to copy/paste

MisterT

@sdetweil i apply your command line and magic mirror starts with raspbian. I’ll come back if i have problems with my crontab
Thx
