Restart MagicMirror once a day

[sdetweil]

@veny pm2 can schedule restart

[sdetweil]

@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

[sdetweil]

@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???

Ralf

[sdetweil]

@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

[rkorell]

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

Thanks for your explanation!
Ralf

[sdetweil]

@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?

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj I think its this
https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/issues/3687

[mumblebaj]

@sdetweil Yeah, was reading that earlier when you posted it from another issue. Will see if I can pull the MM repo and have a look at the code in there.

[sdetweil]

@mumblebaj the problem is we are passing back data, and not the response object
and we didn’t check to see if the response was valid(statusCode==200), and after that sometimes the data is trash

if you have MM installed, you HAVE the repo!
