      Hello,

      i am working on my MagicMirror, everything is well so far, but sometimes at startup, the connection to my wifi is not established. a roboot does fix this.
      So i wanted to create a small script run by crontab, to stop MagicMirror, if there is no wifi connaction.
      I can read out the connectionstatus, but “pm2 stop MagicMirror” does not work in my script. Outside the script, this comand does the stop of my MM.
      I also tried it using the process ID, same result:
      “[PM2][ERROR] Process or Namespace MagicMirror not found”
      or
      “[PM2][ERROR] Process 0 not found”
      Any ideas?

      Stopping it on my Raspberry is not an option, the restart by pm2 is way to quick!

      Thanks in advance

        @newbi cron runs a root by default.
        you need to add the userid used when pm2 was setup, as the config is stored in the users home-folder/.pm2
