New NR 0.20.5 and --safe mode

General

Thanks, but in NR, I use: the CPU usage.

Then send the data back via MQTT.

I have created infinite loops in the past and putted my hair out.
I recently found a solution,
stop node-RED, sudo pkill node-red
in /.node-red, cd /.node-red
sudo cp .flows_HOSTNAME.json.backup flows_HOSTNAME.json
reboot or restart node-RED

Hi, That just copies a backup version over your currently installed version. This may or may not fix the problem. As per the original topic using --safe is now a much better option

May I suggest you try this instead:

cd .node-red
node-red-stop
node-red --safe

Then you start your browser and go to the node-red page.

Edit/delete the stuff you need to delete these loops and press deploy.

That will save you a lot of time.

(I can speak from experience.)

P.S.
stop node-RED, sudo pkill node-red
in /.node-red, cd /.node-red

That doesn't make sense.
From what I know cd /.node-red is not correct.
It should be cd ~/.node-red
If you are in your home directory you only need the cd .node-red

Isn't that what Dave suggested 6hrs earlier?

I have been out of the thread for a while and just commented on the last bit.

Yeah, ok. I maybe should have read back a few more posts.

Sorry.
