      Can anyone help me understand why my .pm2/pm2.log file is filled with the below errors?

        @davidgagne well you have two apps defined
        MagicMirror and pm2

        So do
        pm2 delete 0
        pm2 delete 1
        pm2 save -f

        Then run my fixuppm2 script, from

          @davidgagne does npm start work?

          If not, pm2 is doing npm start and it is failing

          Pm2s JOB is to start the app AND keep it running.
          So if it fails or is stopped outside pm2, then you will see the exited and pm restart it

            @sdetweil Yes. I think something is wrong with pm2 itself, because (a) calling the standard pm2 start MagicMirror will appear to work, but it does not actually launch the MagicMirror. This is the output it yields:

            ~/MagicMirror/modules $ pm2 start MagicMirror
            [PM2] Applying action restartProcessId on app [MagicMirror](ids: [ 1 ])
            [PM2] [MagicMirror](1) ✓

            And (b) it shows pm2 as stopped which doesn’t make any sense. I thought pm2 was supposed to always be running.

            Calling /installers/mm.sh will launch the MagicMirror, but then I am stuck with it reporting everything back to the ssh Terminal window and I can’t so anything else until/unless I ctrl-z it, which is annoying.

                  and a learning thing

                  on Windows you can use

                  cd %HOME%\MagicMirror
                  rem had to make a mm.cmd or mm.bat
                  detach installers\mm.cmd 
                  

                  to spin a job off in the background

                  on linux, you end the command with &
                  to do the same thing

                  # only for  example, could have used the complete path 
                  cd ~/MagicMirror
                  installers/mm.sh &
                  # or
                  npm start &

                        @davidgagne yes, as the starting shell is still open, output is spooled there,
                        BUT you can exit the window AND it will stay running… the output will be lost…
                        (thats the value of pm2 spawning… it captures the output)

                        if you get it running in the background, without pm2, then two ways to kill it

                        reboot
                        or run a kill script like this

                        ps -ef | grep MagicMirror  | awk '{print $2}'| xargs sudo kill -9
                        

                        for info , the steps
                        list the processes and their program path
                        find the ones with MagicMirror
                        print out just the process number
                        sudo kill -9 the process number
