      when you start mm,do

       npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1
      

      that will capture all the backend output

      the front end said it started the modules listed in that config.js

          @sdetweil I did this and exported a file out. I then went ahead and ran the MagicMirror for 2 minutes.

          Here is the output (same as before):

              @sdetweil it returned the same location:

              jackson@raspberrypi:~ $ find . -type f -name config.js
              ./Documents/MagicMirror/config/config.js

                  @vandy2424 according to the backend log, calendar was not a loaded module, so never get any data, loading… will be the only output

                    @sdetweil Hopefully this is what you were looking for here:

                    jackson@raspberrypi:~ $ ps -ef | grep -i magic
                    jackson   1781   806  0 08:21 ?        00:05:02 geany /home/jackson/Documents/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Cocktails/node_helper.js

                        @sdetweil This is true, but in the backend log, none of my modules say they were loaded, and never have. Just mentions loading config and loading module helpers.
                        1359b8fd-32d2-4fbd-98e8-89ff78df43ca-image.png

                        The clock & weather still work without showing they were loaded on the backend. (maybe this doesn’t matter since they don’t use a node_helper.js class).
