      @rvdgeer Would be great to find out what causes this and hopefully fix it, however it is still not clear to me, what the reason is. I will investigate a little bit more on the weekend. Maybe I am able to reproduce the issues, could you post your node --version?

      In the meantime you could compare your config.js and the config.js.backupX and see if you find possible differences?

        This morning (CET) I have a little more time to do bug reports, troubleshoot and answer some of your questions.
        So, first things first.

        My node version:
        v6.8.1

        About the config backups:
        I noticed the that the double quotes were added to the keys and values before the backup was made.
        This means I don’t have a backup of the true original.
        It also means I can only compare the current config file to the backup and not the the original.

        Another thing I noticed is that backupfile got overwritten this morning.
        Because my MagicMirror is still a work in progress it’s powered off most of the time.
        When I tried to reproduce the issues I came across last time I noticed that the first backup I made was saved as config.js.backup1, overwriting a previous backup.
        At least for me this wasn;t expected behaviour and I don’t think it’s how I wish to save (or lose) my backups.

        About saving hidden/shown modules:
        As I said before, I haven’t set any special permisions and I’m using the default useron my Pi Zero: pi
        Becasue there’s no keyboard and mouse attached (the Pi Zero’s micro usb port is used for a wifi dongle) I use ssh and scp (and of cource the Remote!) to do most editing, testing and troubleshooting.
        On saving the current state of hidden/shown modules the pm2 logs reported this:
        On hiding the helloworld module:

        0|mm       | ** Message: console message: http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Remote-Control//MMM-Remote-Control.js @219: [object Object]
        0|mm       | ** Message: console message: http://localhost:8080/js/logger.js @20: helloworld is suspended.
        0|mm       | ** Message: console message: http://localhost:8080/js/module.js @313: TypeError: Object is not a function (evaluating 'callback()')
        

        On saving the current state directly after:

        0|mm       | ** Message: console message: http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Remote-Control//MMM-Remote-Control.js @219: [object Object]
        0|mm       | Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
        0|mm       | { Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control/settings.json'
        0|mm       |     at Error (native)
        0|mm       |   errno: -13,
        0|mm       |   code: 'EACCES',
        0|mm       |   syscall: 'open',
        0|mm       |   path: '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control/settings.json' }
        0|mm       | MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
        0|mm       | If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
        

        This can be reproduced every time when I follow these steps.
        I you need any specific testing, please let me know and I’ll try to find the time.

              @done Kind of, yes. I think I have not fixed all mentioned errors, but hopefully the major ones. Also @Mr-Meeseeks added some new functionality (sending alerts).

              Feel free to git pull the current status and test again. :) It should no longer mess up config.js files as much, but it still could be. It is using config.js.backupX so make manual backup somewhere else.

                @rvdgeer do you have pm2 installed and configured? Oh looked above, you do. Well I have noticed even though logs show command error, it still works, I think it’s because node doesn’t surround commands in quotes.

                CAAAAN DOO!👍
