      Hi,

      I just installed Magic Mirror on my raspberry pi using Sam’s auto installer. Install was successful with pm2 on. However, when I quit magic mirror it automatically re-opens after about 2 seconds. So, I can’t edit modules or do anything really. How do I quit magic mirror without it re-opening? Also, once it’s closed, how do I open it again manually? Thank you!

        However MagicMirror is named in pm2
        Open command line window and see below

        pm2 stop MagicMirror or pm2 stop mm
        

        To start

        pm2 start MagicMirror or pm2 start mm

            @r3d6 pm2’s JOB is to keep mm running

            also alt-spacebar, n
            like on windows, will minimize a full screen app

              @sdetweil Thanks for all the help. Random question – the command lines you gave me to start and stop pm2 in the terminal…what programming language is that? And, is it the same programming language used in the config.js file?

                @r3d6 not a programming language. just commands

                config.js is JavaScript
