MM fails regularly
-
@MMRPi1 how do u start mm? pm2.
over ssh, pm2 stop 0
-
It starts automatically when the pi boots with pm2 yes
-
@MMRPi1 can u stop rather than reboot?
-
@sdetweil I’ve tried to stop it with pm2 but it doesn’t work so I have to reboot it

I’ve had the same issue in the past (running on Raspberry Pi 3b). After about 1 1/2 days of continuously running it would just slow down. My solution was just to reboot it automatically (sometime during the night and then sometime before i got home from work). Works like a charm since.
I added the below to my /etc/crontab file.
(It also contains commands for turning on/ off my HDMI monitor for when I’m not home or am sleeping)FOR REBOOTING a few times every day (Raspberry Pi gets slow every other day… so reboot)
Weekdays

@GuyWithAQuestion That actually sounds like a good solution, thanks! I’ve already got a cronjob that turns the screen off at night so I’ll try to add one to reboot every so often
