Restart not working about homebridge-config-ui-x HOT 4 CLOSED

working now, one writing error ;-)

from homebridge-config-ui-x.

Hi @theo-69,

The restart option won't work if you're not using some sort of process manager, like init.d, systemd, supervisor.d, or even pm2.

I have tested pm2 on a Raspberry Pi and this config works:

{
    "platform": "config",
    "name": "Config",
    "port": 8080,
    "log": {
        "tail": "pm2 logs --raw --lines 100 homebridge"
    },
    "sudo": true,
    "temp": "/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp"
}

Then start with pm2:

pm2 start homebridge

There is no need to define a restart command since pm2 will automatically restart the Homebridge process if it ends, which is the default behaviour for the homebridge-config-ui-x restart command.

Thanks @oznu now I am getting [Config] No restart command defined, killing process...

from homebridge-config-ui-x.

I've added :
"log": {
"tail": "pm2 logs --raw --lines 100 homebridge"
}
and homebridge starts manually by doing pm2 start homebridge
But the gui still show up "Services homebridge not started"
Still, pressing the restart button does restart the process but then the gui stays at "restarting homebridge" until I refresh the page
Any idea ?
