How to set up a cron job for rebooting the server?

[burnydoom]

Well, hello there.

I run my MM as a server only. It is working fine, but I would like to reboot it with a cron job because some modules seem to freeze over night.

I managed to set up a cron job for rebooting the server. But how can I set “npm run server” in the cron so that it actually starts the server again?

@burnydoom use pm2 to autostart the server

see the last script here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

it starts the MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh script

so you change from
npm start
to
npm run server

Magic Mirror Auto Start:

---

nano mm.sh “Paste The Following Code And Save”

#!/bin/bash
sleep 20
cd /home/pi/MagicMirror/

npm run start

To Make The Scripts Executable:

chmod +x mm.sh

Enter The Crontab File:

crontab -e

Now Add The Following Commands To The Bottom And Save:

@reboot /home/pi/mm.sh &
