@evroom,
I get that nothing is found, when I run either of your suggestions.

@mumblebaj
Explain piping, Please…

@sdetweil
Weird, I do not have /var/log/syslog.
Even did a find for it nothing, popped up…

Ok crontab -e worked last night to shutdown MM. So the pm2 stop all worked.
BUT this morning the pm2 restart mm did nothing.
I used find to get these:

/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/pm2
/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/pm2
/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2
/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/pm2/lib/templates/logrotate.d/pm2
/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/pm2/pm2
/usr/local/bin/pm2
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/lib/templates/logrotate.d/pm2
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/pm2

ANY idea on which one would work better.?
Here is my current crontab -e

# Turn off display at 9pm
00 21 * * 0-6 /usr/local/bin/pm2 stop all >/dev/null >2&1
# Turn on screen Monday - Friday at 6:45 am
45 06 * * 1-5 /usr/local/bin/pm2 start mm >/dev/null >2&1
# Turn on screen Saturday - Sunday at 7:30 am
30 07 * * 6,0 /usr/local/bin/pm2 start mm >/dev/null >2&1

Thanks for the info I almost pulled down 32 bit.
It has been interesting to say the least going to trixie.
Turns out my problem was a failed NVMe drive.
I thought those things where supposed to last for a LONG long time…
I did get crontab -e to work with trixie and MM 2.33 not a fun ride, but entertaining. I finally learned how to use bash to make batch style files…
So not a complete loss of time…

I had to add a blank line in this to get config.js to work with MM 2.33 on Trixie to run my 50+ modules on my MM using Pages by @sdetweil

let config = {
	ignoreXOriginHeader: true,
	ignoreContentSecurityPolicy: true,

	electronOptions: {
	webPreferences: {
	webviewTag: true,
	}
},

@sdetweil
Using NVMe disk 256gb smallest I had on hand. 3 of them are exhibiting the same issues. I did try going back to Bookworm and I am still getthing a blank screen after a while. I ran npm run config:check it says all is good in the config.js ////
I am currently reloading from scratch.
Which OS is better for the 2.33 MM? 32 or 64 bit?
Wondering if I was using 32 bit and now the 64 bit is messing with me… So dang many things can mess with these little devices.

I only use crontab -e, should I try sudo crontab -e

@sdetweil
Did the new MM and or trixie change the way crontab works? Mine has stopped working since the update to 2.33. I tried again tonight and will see if the changes work or not… also my mm.json file quit working. Hind sight is 20/20 should have left well enough alone…

@sdetweil
Yes it is but I went in and turned it off.

@sdetweil
So what is the fix? or is there one even.?

@sdetweil
Does your MM 2.33 on trixie blank the screen after 5 to 10 minutes?
