I feel silly asking, but, does minimserver do automatic rescans?

I feel REALLY stupid for not being able to find anything about this anywhere.

They say that the only stupid question is the one that isn't asked.

MinimServer doesn't have any way at present to do automatic rescans. To trigger a rescan, you can:

1) Select Rescan from the minim icon (in MinimServer or MinimWatch)

2) Click the Rescan button on the Minimserver status web page

3) Issue the 'rescan' command from the MinimServer or MinimWatch console interface

If music is playing, this will continue while the rescan takes place.

Are you considering adding recurrent rescans?
I think it can be done via the named pipe interface and a cron job, in linux but internal would be universal.
