Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
Magic Mirror runs twice on boot
-
They are both labeled MagicMIrror2 and they both will automatically re-start if I quit them with CTRL+Q.

I think I fixed this. There was a file called mm.sh in the home directory, I moved it to the trash and I only see one instance now. I’m guessing there is something already starting Magic Mirror someplace else?

Uhhh

Not sure. I am new to all this, but that is what I did and it works now. Thanks for the help.

I had the situation where whenever I turned off the monitor and later turned it back on. MM would load a second instance of the server. Took me a while to figure out that it was the HDMI port that was the culprit. I was using a 32 inch Vizio TV and HDMI2. In trying to figure out why this was happening I tried another monitor and it worked correctly when turned on and off. So FYI it may be that the HDMI port that you are using is sending a signal to the MM software to reload the server when it is turned on again.
For clarification I am NOT turning off/on the server just the display.
Hope this helps someone else

@ByronJames never seen this happen
What OS is this??
Technically a second instance should fail as the port is in use by the first instance.
