Subsonic Forum

Hi!
Is it possible to start & stop the server through command line?
After a filescan, Subsonic eats over 500 MB RAM and I need to restart it....

when you say command line I guess you're running Subsonic on something other than Windows..? You don't say..
You could look at this tutorial

No, sorry. I use WinXP w/SP2
I want to use Windows Schedule to run a bat-file to stop and start Subsonic after filescan

If you're running subsonic as a service you could just write a bat-file like this

Code: Select all

net stop <service>
net start <service>


Don't know if that's the optimal solution if it's eating up your RAM though. Sounds like a memory leak of somekind..

Agreed, I have 146 gigs of MP3s added to my config and it never uses even close to 100MB of RAM

I have 240000 mp3's. That is about 1,2 TB.
Any suggestion how to free RAM?

Alternatively:

Code: Select all

subsonic-service.exe -stop
subsonic-service.exe -start

You could also try to reduce the Java heap size to, say, 120MB. Sounds like you're running with a very high heap size limit?
