Mirror turning black after a while

I will dig up another respberry pi and try it out. My test environment is a dietpi vm which runs on a pc so I wouldn’t expect the cpu load to be representative of the load on the pi.

I also dont think the issue is with ResRobot itself. But it is great that you are looking into it @Alvinger

cyberdie

no ResRobot running on my setup. Think the problem is electron itself.

Alvinger

I agree with others that the problem is most likely related to Electron and not module-specific but rather related to which module dependencies it has.

A solution, (not perfect) is to use MMM-WatchDog, it keeps an eye on your UI and quits app in case the UI crashes, combined with the PM2 process manager, MM2 will automaticly restart after a UI failure.

The problem still seems to persist also with the newest version of MM. Maybe someone has found a real solution?
I will try out MMM-WatchDog meanwhile.

@kuhlemann a cron job is the only way think it seems that it taxes the Pi too much after 8hours or so hence Cron Job every 8hours or so

@dazza120 what are you doing with cron to resolve the issue mate?

dazza120

@bachoo786 hi mate I’ve got a cronjob running at 0400 and 1600 to stop it locking up I’ve just noticed the new one2.7.1 starting to eat the memory as I’ve disabled the cronjob to check out the latest down to 9% after 10hours. So it needs the restarts.

Terminal
Type. Crontab -e
Put times below the line below

m h dom mon dow command

0 4 * * * pm2 reload mm
0 16 * * * pm2 reload mm
