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

@sdetweil
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?

@Rags
Did you get it to work like it did on bookworm?
Mine on Trixie looks like it goes into screensaver mode, but I have made sure screen blanking is turned off in raspi-config
I ran Sam’s screensaver off script. Mine just keeps blanking the screen the exact same image works fine on bookworm but blanks on trixie… Really frustrating.

@sdetweil
Don’t think so, because I use the same location for pirate one.
It is pretty much spot on most of the time. Open weather was off more than it wasn’t lately.
@mumblebaj
I did not know Noaa3 was still working. I will give it a try…

I am using MMM-PirateSkyForecast module, I think that is the name of it.
I am wanting to find one that is the most accurate with temps and precipitation.
We removed MMM-OpenWeatherForecast with Api3.0 due to inaccurate weather.
It was telling us 11 inches of rain expected with a 23% chance of rain with the temp constantly off 5 to 10 degrees.
Just wondering what everyone else is using and if what you use is very accurate or not at all.

@sdetweil
Ok, I can do that already have node at 18 and npm at 9 I have notes on upgrading them.
Thanks for the reminder on how to do this…
Much appreciated.

@sdetweil
This is what I get when i try you install script.
Is there a fix for this I can’t find in my notes or online?

@sdetweil
yes, I tried using your script like usual, but it gives me the electron message.
I have bookworm 32 bit on it. Went into raspi-config and set the default browser to firefox. Set my location and time ect. Turned on VNC had to update the raspi-config first. So many hoops to jump through anymore… Can I install electron manually so that your script works on my pi0 ? I like your scripts they take a LOT of the time setting up out of the equation… Especially your backup script… It saved me a lot of work recently when I lost the sd card on my LePotato that only runs MMM-MPlayer So I have a screen with my Driveway camera showing 24/7, I live out in the sticks.

I had MagicMirror on my PiZero and lost the sd card, replaced it with a new one and now I can not get MagicMirror to load.

@mishman
cd MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-NFL.git
cd MMM-NFL
npm install --production

Configure your ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js:

                {
                        module: "MMM-NFL",
                        position: "middle_center",
                        config: {
                                colored: true,
                                helmets: true,
                                focus_on: ["KC", "BLT", "BUF", "CIN", "CHI", "CLE", "DEN", "PHI", "TB", "DAL", "MIA", "NYJ"],
                                format: "ddd, hA",
                                reloadInterval: 1800000,
                                tableSize: "large"
                        },
                },

the options are on the github page.

Welcome to the Forum.

You can set crontab -e to stop mm .
Here is the lines from my crontab -e

# Turn off display Sunday - Thursday at 21h00
00 21 * * 0-4 /usr/local/bin/pm2 stop all
# Turn off display Friday - Saturday at 21h00
00 21 * * 5,6 /usr/local/bin/pm2 stop all
# Turn on screen Monday - Friday at 6h45
45 06 * * 1-5 /usr/local/bin/pm2 start mm
# Turn on screen Saturday - Sunday at 7h30
30 07 * * 6,0 /usr/local/bin/pm2 start mm

My screen has no background and is black in color, then I set my bar to black with gray letters. That way when MM is not running the screen is really dark .
works pretty well for night time. Your mileage may vary…

@cpcode
Once your have your setup completed, to what you want. You can use Win32Diskimager to make a .img file that you can reinstall with balenaetcher or RaspberryPiImager. I went to USB devices or NVMe drives.
I use Sam’s backup mainly to save my config.js and custom.css files so I never loose the main settings to the Current MM I have running. The list of modules helps too.
I also keep a module folder backup BACKUP is so critical if you are using sd cards.

I use Tapo they are cheap too. They are RTSP able and I use them with MMM-MPlayer on a dedicated PI and one camera pops up on my main PI with the other 50 + modules using Sams pages module. They are also PTZ camera’s I think I paid 16 for the cheapest one and like 38 for the most expensive one. I have 3 of them and 5 Wyze cameras but only 3 that are RTSP able.
Just my 2 cents…
