Making changes without stopping MM

[sharmstr]

Right. The OP specified the config file not modules so I assumed that’s all they wanted.

@jtmoore81 Well, this mirror is running pm2 there should be a watcher task running. Try to execute pm2 list to see if your MagicMirror is handled by it.

[idoodler]

@sharmstr Yeah, I always prefere to restart the whole MagicMirror using pm2 restart MagicMirror. Also pm2 is watching the config.json file for any changes and will execute the restart the MagicMirror automatically.

@idoodler Totally agree, but for css and location changes, ctrl r saves a ton of time.

[idoodler]

@sharmstr Yep, thats true.

• Change *.css or Javascript file => Just reload the Webinterface (ctrl + r)
• Change config.json => Reload the Webinterface will do it 90%, else restart MagicMirror
