I often find that I have to delete this file with SC7 to get new
plug-ins to "register" i.e. to show up. This is the file where plugin
settings are stored, I think. The only downside to deleting this file
is that any plug-ins you may have disabled will be enabled on restart
and you may have lost some plug-in specific settings.
My regular svn update routine deletes a number of items from the Cache
dir: Artwork, FileCache, templates, stringcache, plugin-data.yaml. I'm
not noticing any ill effects and service startup time (after the cache
purging) is totally acceptable even on my low-powered linux
box...really its just a few seconds longer than a normal start.
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
#shutdown slimserver
/sbin/service slimserver stop
#update slimserver code
/bin/echo 'Updating Slimserver..'
/usr/bin/svn up /usr/local/slimserver_trunk >>/var/log/slimserver/svn.log
#/bin/echo 'Logging code changes..'
#/usr/bin/svn log -r HEAD -v /usr/local/slimserver_trunk
>>/var/log/slimserver/svn.log
/bin/echo 'Fixing permissions..'
/bin/chown -R slimserver:slimserver /usr/local/slimserver_trunk
#delete the slimserver cache
/bin/echo 'Deleting Slimserver cache files..'
cd /usr/local/slimserver_trunk/server/Cache
rm -R --force Artwork
rm -R --force FileCache
rm -r --force templates
rm --force plugin-data.yaml
rm --force stringcache
#restart slimserver
/sbin/service slimserver start
/bin/echo 'Done!'
--------------------
But, I'll probably now comment out the deleting of plugin-data.yaml
since it's a pain to have to go and re-disable all those unneeded
plug-ins after every svn up.
