    what is the command to rescan lms library

    Hello. Not sure why I have trouble with this - I've used LMS (and before that Slimserver) for 20 years. But, I can't seem to find the command that runs when I do this:

    Click on Settings>Click on Rescan under Basic Settings

    I'd like to know what the command is that runs when I click "Rescan"

    I have set the option to rescan my library every morning at 5 a.m. (Rescan Music Library (v1.0)) under Plugins

    I want to set up a cron job to rescan at other hours.

    I run LMS on a headless Ubuntu server VERSION="22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"

    Thanks.

      Still looking for that command ....

        There are two ways of doing it from the link that I posted.
        Simply put one of them into a shell script, make it executable (chmod +x) and submit it to crontab.
