UNSOLVED MMM-remote-control Restart MM not possible

OberfragGER

Hi,
today i reinstalled my MagicMirror.
I installed Buster and used the script from @sdetweil for it. I installed some modules without any problem and also MMM-remote-control.

After the install i recieved “PM2 ist not installed or unlinked”. So i did

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control
npm link pm2

This error was gone. Bit now another error inside the module. The log means:

[24.11.2021 22:19.44.993] [LOG]   PM2 process: restart mm
[24.11.2021 22:19.45.041] [LOG]   Error: process or namespace not found

Any ideas how to fix that?

@oberfragger said in MMM-remote-control Restart MM not possible:

and used the script from

my script names the MM process MagicMirror

pm2 status will show you the names of the processes it manages

so, I think u have to change the rc parm for the pm2 process name

OberfragGER

@sdetweil Thanks for your Info.
Sorry for asking… i dnot know what you mean with “RC”

change the rc parm for the pm2 process name

or how tho change the process name…

OberfragGER

@sdetweil Ui. I just found a possible solution.
I editet the node_helper.js in the folder /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control
Line 959 from:

            let processName = query.processName || this.thisConfig.pm2ProcessName || "mm";

to

            let processName = query.processName || this.thisConfig.pm2ProcessName || "MagicMirror";

Lets see how dirty this is…and if this destroys other things.

sdetweil

@oberfragger this.thisConfig.pm2ProcessName

means there is a configuration option for the remote control (aka rc) module, so you don’t have to change the code

@sdetweil Thanks a lot. Found it now. Its ‘pm2ProcessName’.
