Decided on a completely different approach.

Using netcat (nc) I can easily send any slimserver client commands to
the client port (9090). Netcat can be downloaded for free.

Create a file called rescan.txt, add to it the lines "rescan" and
"exit" (both with carriage returns).

Create a batch file with the following:

nc 192.168.N.N 9090 < "rescan.txt"

I can then schedule this to run as a job anytime I want. If my windows
based SlimServer PC is asleep, the windows scheduler will wake it up to
perform the task. I can also, for example, get it to run every time the
PC is switched on.
