SOLVED pm2 restarts magicmirror every few seconds

[panos]

Hello.
I fresh install Magicmirror on raspbian buster.
when I reboot the system to see if everything work like it should I notice that magicmirror does not start at all.
pm2 shows this:

Id is constantly changing and restart count is increasing.
It seems that magicmirror is trying to start but for some reason, can’t
Any suggestions?

PM2 is restarting the mirror because the mirror process keeps crashing. Let’s try a rebuild. Try this:

pm2 stop all
cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
npm install
pm2 start 0

[panos]

I tried this with no luck:(
The issue persists…

-EDIT-
I manage to resolve the issue:

• pm2 delete MagicMirror
• pm2 start /home/pi/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh
• pm2 save

pm2 process name is now ‘mm’ instead of ‘MagicMirror’
so
“pm2 start|stop|restart mm” is now the command that I will use
Thanks for your help!!
Cheers:)

@panos yes, when doing install, it uses a config file which supplies a title. It’s in the installers folder
