      Hey!

      Been looking around for an option to get my Pi to restart once a day or at least get my MM restarting once a day. There seems to be an issue where some modules wont update unless i reboot MM. For example Google Calendar.

      There is a lot of guides out there, but i simply cant get it to work. Most of them are really old, so i guess they are outdated or maybe I´m doing it wrong :)
      Anyhow,

      What would be the easiest way to get my PI or MM to have a schedules restart once a day?

        @Bobba86 crontab is the typical way to do this
        it takes a control file with a line for each event

        I would make sure to call the

        reboot
        command as root
        or the
        pm2 restart MagicMirror
        command as the user

            I have mine set up with a Python script to do a reboot and invoke it with crontab. As far as the television monitor is concerned, I use a Sonoff S31 and programmed it to shut down and turn on at certain times.

            #! /usr/bin/env python3
            #Shutdown.py
            #Do the actual reboot
            os.system(‘sudo shutdown now’)

              @Exndfan I have something like the same - except mine was remote control so I could control it through my smart home. Still gotta get that set up again.
