@goncalovsc u don’t need to do anything with the old ones… u edited the new one…
if there is nothing else in the old, throw it away
cd ~/ rm -rf MagucMirror.old
-
@goncalovsc sorry, no idea on the RSS feed
-
@sdetweil deleted magucmirror.old and everything went back to zero, all the changes i´ve made :/
-
@goncalovsc what?
pm2 stop 0 cd ~/MagicMirror npm start
-
@sdetweil Probably i was editing on the wrong files. Already re-edited on the correct ones. Thanks for your kind help

My MM2 is running well under Ubuntu 18.04. I’ve installed pm2 and that works as well to start/stop MM2. However, I’m not able to get pm2 to work when using crontab. My crontab script looks like this:
40 * * * * pm2 restart mm.sh
so I can restart MM2 at 40 minutes after each hour. I don’t really plan to restart MM2 that often, I just want to get this working. I don’t know my way around Linux well enough to figure out what’s wrong. Can anyone point me to solution or an approach to one? Thanks!

@dwburger what does crontab say when i tries to launch pm2?
-
Well…I learned something. I didn’t know about crontab logs and I found this command to try:
sudo grep CRON /var/log/syslog
When I did that I found this line on the end of the log:
Apr 24 10:40:01 dave-ubuntu CRON[2931]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)
I guess I need to install an MTA???

@dwburger said in MM on Ubuntu:
(CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output)
see the last answer here
https://superuser.com/questions/445347/why-is-my-crontab-not-runningbut that doesn’t some why pm2 was not executed
note that you saved the pm2 config as user pi, and cron will run as root -
Hmmm…installed the default MTA for Ubuntu 18 which fixed the error message in the logfile, but pm2 still didn’t restart the MM2. I’m afraid I don’t really understand your note about pi versus root cron running. I can “sudo crontab -e” if that’s a better idea. I will add, my Ubuntu is starting up with its GUI and then I’m opening a terminal window to start MM2 using “pm2 start mm.sh”.
