ChrisJ60 8 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vangeliis 8 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (assuming you have copied EmbyServer.app into your Applications folder) : /Applications/EmbyServer.app/Contents/MacOS/EmbyServer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJ60 8 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 (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.
