The named pipe on Synology was added specifically for MinimServer, and isn't a standard part of Synology packages.

I am hoping to add automatic update scanning to a future release of MinimServer and make this available for all platforms. This would be better than using an "Auto Restart" package because it would not be necessary to rescan the entire library, just the files that have changed.

Because of this, I'd prefer not to do extra work to add named pipe support to MinimServer for additional platforms. Instead, I think it would be more useful for me to put my efforts into implementing automatic update scanning.

Thanks for your fast reply. I agree with you that it would be nicer and more efficient and elegant to have it directly in minimserver, but a solution for the meantime would be nice. And as we already have a simple way and script to restart minim based on inotify chanages, it would be great to have this supported. There are no big changes in your QNAP package to add the additional named pipe to it. e.g. there are three lines were minimserver is started and the named pipe needs to be connected. plus two additional lines to create the pipe. so i would greatly appreciate if you could add that to the QNAP package. or i can add it by myself and send you a patch file?
