                    @natebrown if u had used the scripted install, it would have asked if u want to use the node process manager, pm to start at boot

                    u can add it, see command for fixuppm2 here

                    https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

                    speed up? no idea

                        @natebrown the scripts don’t care, they adjust.

                        this script changes the installers/mm.sh

                          @natebrown once it is installed. on next boot mm will start. if it fails pm2 will restart it. if you ctrl-q, pm2 will restart it.

                          minimize and use the pm2 command to stop, start, restart, view logs…

                                    pm2 stop 0
                                    pm2 delete 0
                                    pm2 save

                                      @natebrown there is a step during scripted install to add the mm splash screen.

                                          @natebrown u don’t install my scripts. u use the scripts to do the different tasks

                                          each command is a cut and paste to execute.
