Shell script to start media scan

[gr8pa2]

I use a link to start a media scan but I wish to create a shell script that will start a scann after new music is imported.

http://host:4040/rest2/startRescan.view ... rest&f=xml

I tried with curl, but I always get an error message.

Anybody can help?

What error message do you get?

This works fine for me on version 6.0.7760.

curl 'http://localhost:4040/rest2/startRescan.view?u=username&p=password&v=2.0.0&c=rest&f=json'
