Minimserver automatic library rescanning
Hello,
apologies if this has already been discussed, but as a newbie to Minimserver I was wondering whether there is a possibility to schedule an automatic re-scan of the library (or restart of minimserver) on a fixed daily schedule (i.e. 05.00 in the morning every day)? If so, how does one configure the setting? I am running minim on a Synology DS-412+ nas, controlled by Mavericks on a Macbook Pro. Thanks in advance |

Has your Synology a facility for automatic timed switch off and restart? I have my ReadyNAS power down at 2am and restart at 7am. This takes care of any routine rescan that MinimServer might need.

Yes, Synology offers even a GUI for this - task scheduler. Is there a unix command to restart minim? something like /volume1/@appstore/java6/jre/bin/java -jar /volume1/@appstore/MinimServer/lib/minimserver.jar --nohup but with a restart syntax? Thanks |

RE: Minimserver automatic library rescanning
very good, thank you, tried it in a shell, did indeed restat the minimserver..
is it possible to include inode support in the future, so that minim "listens" to file system changes and updates its database immediately, much like Synology's own media server? or is it too much of a synology specific issue to garner attention? |

There is an Auto Restart package (for Synology only) that does inode listening and automatic restarting. See this thread. I am hoping to add automatic incremental rescanning as a MinimServer feature in a future release. |
