Hi Michael,

If you were to use this, obviously you'd schedule it when there's
nothing going on. For example, if you do a nightly rescan at 5AM (using
the Rescan Music Library plugin), schedule the server to restart at

You can get rid of far more than just non-default plugins.

Not sure if this has anything to do with your problem, but I've noticed
that if you update anything in the plugins, such as enabling or
disabling them, and immediately restart the server, the changes often
aren't saved. I believe the reason for this is that LMS only
