      @MisterT said in Cronjob doesn't work with my MM:

      [12:51:04.343] [ERROR] ERROR! Could not find main module js file for MMM-GooglemapsTraffic.original
      ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
      [12:51:08.418] [ERROR] ERROR! Could not find main module js file for MagicMirror-Display-Controller
      [12:51:09.801] [ERROR] ERROR! Could not find main module js file for fabio

      you should add

      disabled: true,
      

      to those three modules in you config.js
      right after the module name

      the times don’t line up on the reports…
      cron log

      May 17 12:52:01 raspberrypi CRON[25574]: (pi) CMD (pi     pm2 stop MagicMirror >/dev/null 2>&1)
      

      pm2 log

      [12:55:40.854] [LOG]    Shutting down server...
      

      take this off the shutdown command
      pm2 stop MagicMirror >/dev/null 2>&1
      add a couple commands to the cron right in front of the shutdown

      pm2 info 0
      pm2 status 0
      

      these should output to the cron log

          @chassain-0 i tried your solution but still not work, same with pm2 stop/start MagicMirror

          @sdetweil with this cron

          44 18 * * * pi pm2 start MagicMirror > pm2 status 0
          or
          46 18 * * * pi pm2 start MagicMirror > pm2 info 0

          i had a log in pi folder at the same time but a blank log

          I tested my cron with a simple Hello word .py and cronjob works.

          have you an other solution ?

            @MisterT pm2 is a big node application, so if needs to be in the right folder and process

              Hello MisterT
              I’m not an expert, I’m more of a beginner, but I tried to use a cronjob to stop and start the mirror on my mirror.

              10 23 * * * pm2 stop mm> / dev / null 2> & 1
              15 23 * * * pm2 start mm> / dev / null 2> & 1
              it worked for me.
              I use the MagicMirror² v2.11.0 and NAME = “Raspbian GNU / Linux”
              VERSION_ID = “10”
              VERSION = “10 (buster)”
              VERSION_CODENAME = buster.
              With older versions of the software I always had problems starting MagicMirror because of access violations with pm2 after a reboot.
              Maybe this will help you solve your problem.

                  Hi it’s me again
                  So i made a fresh installation of raspbian buster and latest version of Magic mirror. I used the auto install from @sdetweil . At the end of autoinstall, a message appears and says: Do you want use pm2 to autostart your mirror?
                  So i pressed yes.
                  After this i restart my Magic mirror but it didn’t start with raspbian.

                  I try my cronjob in crontab-e but nothing happen

                  SHELL=/bin/sh
                  PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
                  01 00 * * *   pi      pm2 restart MagicMirror
                  00 08 * * *   pi      pm2 restart MagicMirror
                  10 16 * * *   pi      pm2 stop MagicMirror
                  
                  

                  does this command line can resolve my problem from @sdetweil git script?

                  bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)"
                  

                  Thx for next answers

                    @MisterT i have seen this a couple times… not sure why,

                    run the fixuppm2.sh script from my repo and see if that fixes the problem
