How to stop and start Emby Server from command line / script?

[ChrisJ60 13]

I run EmbyServer on macOS. In order to support various automation tasks I need to be able to stop and start the EmbyServer from the command line (i.e. from a shell script). I tried this:

 

osascript -e 'tell application "EmbyServer"' -e 'quit' -e 'end tell'

 

but it doesn't have any effect so clearly something more sophisticated is needed.

 

Can someone please advise what command(s) I need to issue to stop / start the server from a script.

 

Thanks.

(assuming you have copied EmbyServer.app into your Applications folder) :

 

/Applications/EmbyServer.app/Contents/MacOS/EmbyServer

Yeah, that will start it but not in the same way as double clicking the app does. A better option is 'open -a EmbyServer'. Starting it is not the main problem, stopping it cleanly and safely from the command line seems to be the challenge.
