Rescan
Exit

A full scripting capability for MinimServer will be available soon.

For now, you could use process input redirection for the MinimWatch console, for example:

cd "\Program Files\MinimWatch\lib"
java -jar mwatch.jar --set minimwatch.view=console <C:\myscripts\rescan.txt

where rescan.txt contains the MinimWatch commands that you want to run.

MinimWatch commands are case-sensitive, so you need to enter 'rescan' and 'exit' in lower case. Also, you need to start the script with a 'sleep' command to give MinimWatch enough time to discover MinimServer before issuing the 'rescan' command. It is advisable to use another 'sleep' command after the 'rescan' command to ensure that the 'rescan' command has enough time to complete its processing before MinimWatch exits. The following is working for me:

sleep 3
rescan
sleep 2
exit

The upcoming MinimServer scripting facility won't require these extra 'sleep' commands to be added.
