      Hello everyone! I noticed that the weather module freezes and does not update. I looked at the logs, there are no errors. The command pm2 restart magicmirror helps. Is it possible to make a script so that the command pm2 restart magicmirror is executed automatically once a day. Thanks in advance to everyone!

          @veny also, weather is all in browser, so any error messages would appear in the browser developer window console

          ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab

            Dear Sam,
            which file is called to start the mirror when I have used your install script?
            (I guess I have to insert the cron-related additions there…)

            Thanks,
            Ralf

              @rkorell you can do it from the commandline, OR the config file

              the config file I create is in the installers folder
              pm2_MagicMirror.json

              it looks like you can do

              pm2 restart xx --cron-restart
              

              AFTER the app was defined already

                Do you mean I can issue the above command and pm2 will store/keep this as configuration?

                This would be pretty cool…
                Wasn’t there a “pm2 save” or something like this???

                  @rkorell yes, pm2 save will ‘save’ the config for use later

                  this cron feature is new to me. so I haven’t tested what you need to do…
                  read their doc

                    @sdetweil Yupp. Have read.
                    For me it’s for later - just potential - use.
                    Currently I’m fine without daily restart.

                    Thanks for your explanation!

                      @rkorell yes, we still don’t know completely, BUT the OP asked for capability,
                      and here it is… already available in the tools we use…

                      this community thrives on contribution, and I hope others will be able to do that for this topic as well.

                        @veny Just restarting the MM does not resolve the issue with the weather module freezing. We need to find why the weather module freezes. Maybe turn on Debug in the config and then see if there are any errors on the next freeze?
