Monitor external program...
-
I need a clue on how to do this - I’m wanting to make sure an external program is running on my Pi. and if it’s not display a message on the screen. is there a way to check such things within the magic mirror system?
The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

@BKeyport There is very likely an npm module for that.
Like this one:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/find-process -
@lavolp3 Good idea for a module by the way!
You could write one that checks for processes running, shows if they are running or not and starts/restarts them on demand -
This seems to be a good solution as well.

start the external program with pm2, it will keep it running
