      Is there a way to refresh MAGIC MIRROR without rebooting?
      I want MIRROR to reload at midnight every day.
      Is there a good way to use crontab?
      What commands should I use in the terminal

        i would use pm2 for that.

        sudo nano /etc/crontab

        # /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
        # Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
        # command to install the new version when you edit this file
        # and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
        # that none of the other crontabs do.
        
        SHELL=/bin/sh
        PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
        
        # m h dom mon dow user  command
        17 *    * * *   root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
        25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
        47 6    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
        52 6    1 * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
        59 23   * * *   pi      pm2 restart mm
        #
        

        should work…
