Cronjob doesn't work with my MM

sdetweil

@MisterT do a pm2 flush to clear the log, then also show the error log… (its above the log output)
or look at the files in the ~/./pm2/logs folder

i looks like it works

MisterT

ok so with pm2 flush and this crontab

52 12 * * *   pi     pm2 stop MagicMirror >/dev/null 2>&1
54 12 * * *   pi     pm2 start MagicMirror

the pm2 logs :

@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

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

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

@MisterT

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
SHELL=/bin/bash

0 20 * * * pm2 stop mm
0 6 * * 1-5 pm2 start mm

MisterT

@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 ?

sdetweil

@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.

Allow me to deliver a gentle reminder to use the markdown features of the forum when posting code and logs.

MisterT

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

sdetweil

@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

one line to copy/paste
