      Oh and I can ssh in and run date and the time is correct.
      If I run MM in a separate browser on my laptop I pops up and runs fine and very clean. Time is correct. ect. which then causes the MM on the wall to start working again…
      I did run your update script with force tonight when I came home and it had been frozen for approx. 3.5 hrs.
      I am currently watching to see if it freezes again. so frustrating.

      Slow learner. But trying anyways.

        @plainbroke start in server mode and connect chrome or some other browser, sounds like an electron problem

        maybe change the pages rate a little (10%)

          which points to a graphical module, globe, something doing heavy charts.

            you are correct electron is hoarding resources.
            Is there a way to kill a PID in debian to see what module may be causing this.
            1998
            1988
            and 1949 are top three cpu hogs…

              @plainbroke you can

              sudo kill -9 pid

              but i dont know what functions are in what process, electron decides that. one is the page/tab

                Just did a kill 1998 and it is now not showing up but the mirror is still working,
                I guess I will wait until one of the modules doesn’t work anymore.
                Then i will know which one to remove, right?
                Turns out that was the wireless connection I think.
                MM stopped and I can not access it through ssh time to POPO.
                I will keep after this but I will also stop globe in the config.js. just to see if that helps.
                Thanks for your help I have learned alot tonight about the way debian and MM run.

                  @plainbroke i think page switching while globe is drawing
                  is probably the cause

                      Not so sure that it was globe came home today and the same screen was stopped,
                      MMM-Dogs and the time was the same 3:37 pm but the real time was 4:30 pm.
                      So re-enabled globe and disabled MMM-Dogs to see if it does it again tomorrow…
                      I am almost wondering if it isn’t something to do with MMM-birthday-paged.
                      It was the last module I remember adding since this started.
                      I will slowly figure it out by disabling one module at a time that seems to hog resources.

                      By the way what do it mean by zombie in top.?
