Cant exit auto running MM

_V_

Hey again guys

So I installed MM via Sams installer and because I didnt understand how to start it from “desktop” mode, I activated autostart.
But now I can only end it via CTRL + Q, ending in it restarts immediately ^^

The normal Pi button does nothing, I can reach the desk through windows style CTRL ALT DEL but every click I make results in MM goes back fullscreen. I could use the “Run” menu, but thats not the same like the command prompt is it?

Sorry for the nooby question, help is appreciated.

@_V_ pm2’s JOB is to start the app AND KEEP IT RUNNING, so if it fails (you do a ctrl-q) pm2 restarts it

pm2 has lots of command options

in linux by convention commands don’t return any message when successful (as they were built when tty was VERY SLOW)

also, each command has help

pm2 --help

and a manual page

man pm2

SO, to stop MM with pm2, minimize MM, ctrl-m, (or alt-spacebar, n) open a terminal window, ctrl-alt-v, and type

pm2 status

then

pm2 stop xx

where xx is the name or the number of the row with the app on it…
one can create MULTIPLE managed apps with the SAME name, so sometimes the number matters

I know that its the job of it to keep it running, Ive read that
