        Assuming you have PM2 set up per instructions:

        #       min     hour    day     Mon      wkd    command
                 15      2       *       *        *      sudo reboot
                 13      2       *       *        *      pm2 stop mm
        

        The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

          not working:
          46 11 * * mon,fri root pm2 stop mm
          30 6 * * mon,fri root reboot
          (With root works the reboot but not pm2 stop mm)
          46 11 * * mon,fri pm2 stop mm (also without root pm2 stop mm is not working)
          30 6 * * mon,fri root reboot

            @cornusandu create a little script

            pm2 stop ?? (id or name)
            shutdown -r now
            

            but you shouldn’t have to shutdown MM manually

              For executing a reboot you need sudo privileges for the crontab. Try this

              Open crontab with root privileges (sudo):
              $ sudo crontab -e
              
              Add the cronjob:
              # - reboots the MM everyday at 1:05 and 13:05
              # - redirects stdout and stderror to dev/null
              5 1,13 * * * sudo reboot >dev/null 2>&1
              
              Save and exit crontab.
              
              

              Please note the ‚sudo‘ before ‚crontab -e’ and don‘t forget ‚sudo‘ before ‚reboot‘.

                @Fozi don’t use reboot…

                it is violent… use shutdown -r (restart)

                  @sdetweil why violent? As far as I know reboot is an alias for shutdown -r and does exactly the same. At least that is info I found in multiple posts on stackexchange. Could you elaborate a bit on that? Just eager to understand the difference and to avoid a mistake in the future.

                      @sdetweil no, it‘s not a hard shutoff. You can easily check the activity on the SD card when executing reboot before it powers off. Means it stops obviously process and writes necessary data to the card first, just like shutdown.

                        Thank you guys. It works now. I have a secondary issue. The calendar have on top a title , I called it “my calendar” , how can I increase the font size only if the title ? The events I already increased them but the title of the module is very small
