Trigger scan from external program?

Hi, sorry if I am asking a totally obvious question, but I didn't find anything related. How do I trigger a library scan from an external program? I assume it is a relatively common usecase that external programs are used to save content into the libraries. In my case it is pyload.

 

I would by the way second the wish asked in a thread below to add a can trigger for a single library. My scan takes nearly 2min, which is longer than downloading a full episode sometimes. And I don't even have any music in the library that could add thousands of files.

On Windows systems we automatically monitor file system changes so this wouldn't be necessary at all.  Not all OSes have that capability, however.
