            @bradley1982 how does magicmirror get started? pm2 at boot?

            if so , pm2 can do lots of things, from a terminal window do

            pm2 status
            pm2 stop all

            and then

            pm2 --help
            for a list of all the options available

              @sdetweil HI sam,

              it auto lauches when the pi reset.

              it seems to work for a couple of hours/day and then i get the blank screen with the cursor. I can see it on the remote control app and look ok but the screen is blank.

              When i reset the pi it works ok for the same period… and the blank screen?

              is there a log that i can run to figure out what is causing it?
              again really new to all this and need an idiot guide lol

                @bradley1982 i assume you use pm2 to autostart.
                if so, then

                pm2 logs --lines=xxxx
                where xxxx is a number of lines to display from the latest part of the logs.
                xxxx defaults to 15

                there are only 500 places where one needs a guide. lol.

                    @bradley1982 yes, you can empty the current (old) collection of log messages by

                    pm2 flush
