rescan from command line - dennis_k85 - 19-10-2015 12:52
Is there a way ti initiate a rescan from the command line. I want to add it to the auto USB mount/dismount code.

What platform are you using to run MinimServer?

For any Linux platform, if you have installed MinimServer in the directory {installdir}, you can do:
echo "rescan" > {installdir}/minimserver/data/minimserver.pipe

echo "rescan" > /usr/src/minimserver/data/minimserver.pipe
never returns from the echo command and does not initiate a rescan. What am I doing wrong?

Are you sure MinimServer is running when you run the echo command? How are you starting MinimServer? Does the user running the echo command have the necessary privilege to write to the minimserver.pipe file?

Yes Minim server is running. It is started on system boot. I can play songs from it.
Yes I tried the command from an ssh session logged in as root.

How are you starting MinimServer on system boot? Have you used the minimserver/bin/setup command to enable autostart?
