Auto Rescan package for Synology users (formerly known as Auto Restart package)

[Cocoo]

Hello,

I have been using minimserver for a few months, I quickly adopted it as my favorite upnp server, I love it, congratulation for this wonderfull project !

I use inotifywait under Linux with a couple of lines of bash to trigger the rescan of my library when I add new files. It is not ideal because I did not find the way to know whether minimserver is already in the process of rescanning or not. So it may trigger a rescan whereas it is already in the process of rescanning. It would greatly help to have an easy way to get the status of the current rescan (for example in the output of the "about" command). It would prevent from triggering a rescan if one is already running and makes it possible to implement a very simple autorescan in a couple of lines of bach script. Is it difficult to get this information ? Is it possible to implement it ?

Of course, the perfection would be to integrate the autoscanning within minimserver itself, with partial rescan of only the modified information, etc... But this requires a major rework of the source, whereas it might be much easier to output the rescan activity in the about output.

Thank you,

C.
