    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
