Is it possible to run a database cleanup from command line?

[Rocketcandy]

We are running into some issues with symbolic links so we have to remove the old symlinks then cleanup the database and re link files if we move them. I have a script running that does all of that for us but I still have to manually run the database cleanup so if there is a way to run that from command line and I can add it to my script the entire process would become automatic.

We are running subsonic on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
License Subsonic Premium
Version 4.8 (build 3434) – April 17, 2013
Server jetty-6.1.x, java 1.6.0_27, Linux (119.7 MB / 193.6 MB)

Any help would be great!

Basically I want to run (from command line on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) this link from the settings menu: musicFolderSettings.view?expunge or run it from the musicFolderSettings.jsp file.

Is that possible?

Thanks,
Rocket

You'll probably have to do some playing with this but you should be able to something like:

wget 127.0.0.1:4040/rest/musicFolderSettings.view?expunge

Or if it isn't a full rest URL remove the rest part. You seem to have found out what the URL is from somewhere so just use whatever it is there.

I tried something similar to that but I'm not logged in so I can't access that part of the site yet. Somehow I need to login then run that command then close the connection.

Try changing the line to read:

wget 127.0.0.1:4040/rest/musicFolderSettings.view?u=admin&p=password&v=1.8.0&expunge

where you replace "admin" and "password" with your information.
