@pat59 so, you already have an instance running, probably under pm2

when I said stop MM I meant in whatever way running…

pm2’s JOB is to start and KEEP MM running… no matter what
you ctrl-Q
pm2 says, oops, app crashed, restart…

so, you have to use the pm2 commands to tell it what to do

pm2 status

will show the managed apps, one line per
you can control the app, by using the name or number of the app in a row

pm2 stop 0
pm2 stop MagicMirror 

could both be for the same app

once stopped, THEN you can go to the MM folder and do the npm start to see the possible errors easier…

once you fix the errors, you can stop the temp MM with ctrl-q (as you started it manually)
and then tell pm2 to manage it again

pm2 start 0/MagicMirror

@pat59

Did you stop it manually ctrl-q
Yesterday after we finished testing?

pm2 status

Is anything listed as running?
If not then do this

ps -ef| grep MagicMirror 

You should only get one line of output
