"Instead of looking for a workaround to restart slimserver remotely I'd rather invest some time to improve server stability. There seems to be something wrong with your slimserver installation or configuration."
Agreed, I rather fix the root cause but since I have been using Slimserver versions 6.2.x, 6.3.x, 6.5.x, I have encountered issues with the server stopping. I have been manually restarting this but I want to ideally be able to reset this with a 1 click operation (script), or issue a command from the CLI. As for addressing the server issue and the root cause, I use all the plugins new, old, beta's etc. I love to try all the offerings to enhance the listening and UI experience. I also know that this has a downside, server stability. I'm pretty confident that the plain vanilla setup will work the best but I wouldn't be pleased with that having already tasted the pleasures of working with Musicmagic Mixer and the other wonderful plugins. As for my proposed bandaid (one click restart), I like the idea of using OpenSSH since I already have this installed and use this to remotely control my Softsqueeze2 player. I'm just a novice with the SSH stuff and have a question. I think I need to install a SSH client on my Nokia770 or any other PC to remotely issue a "restart command". Is this a correct assumption? Then when both of these are running (Server and Client) let's take the case of using the Nokia770, within a xterm window I think I can control my WinXP system via the command line to issue a "restart command". I do have a question. My home router/firewall has the port 22 forwarded on my WinXP system ( Slimserver PC). This was needed for Softsqueeze2 ( Squeezebox emulator ) to function remotely. The command line for the Slimserver CLI interface is port 9090. Do I need to set my router/firewall to forward to this port as well or will it work via port 22 and then I set the CLI port to 22? Anyway I will try this tonight when I get home and see if it works, I was just trying to get some more information beforehand to reduce the headaches during the setup. Any insights from the SSH experts will be appreciated.
