Controlling you MagicMirror via PM2

Restarting your MagicMirror
pm2 restart mm

Stopping your MagicMirror
pm2 stop mm

Show the MagicMirror logs
pm2 logs mm

Show the MagicMirror process information
pm2 show mm

I think that doesn’t work correctly…
Or I made a mistake

I’m just guessing, since I know nothing.
Don’t you have to start it with pm2 to close it with pm2?

Ie use pm2 start instead of npm start

You have to use the pm2 service manager to be able to stop MM with pm2 stop mm

if you just use npm start, you need to press CTRL+C to stop it.
CTRL+C stops any running process in the terminal you are currently in (so e.g. apt-get upgrade could be stopped with it)

@Jeff

like u start the npm use CTRL+c or CTRL+X like dbahn25 mentioned.
