Thank you very much for the reply, this is perfect !

I am not even going to include the test of an already running scan, because although my music library has ~800 albums and 4403 files, both mp3 and flac, the scanning actually takes only a fraction of a second. Once again, congratulation, minimserver is a little jewel !

Below, my autoscan bash script if anybody else is interested. I tinkered it one evening before dinner, so dont expect anything fancy, but it works pretty well

Thank you and an happy new year !

Code:

#!/bin/sh

ARMED=0;
while true ; do
  inotifywait -r -t 30 -e modify,create,delete,move ~/Music
  STATUS=$?
  [ $STATUS == 0 ] && ARMED=1;
  if [ $STATUS == 2 -a $ARMED == 1 ] ; then
    echo "minimserver rescan at: $(date)"
    ARMED=0;
    echo rescan | ~/MinimServer/minimserver/bin/mscript -a localhost
  fi
done
