I am writing a script that modifies mmdvmhost. I currently end that with a "pistar-update" to apply the changes but this takes a bit of time, and causes un-needed workload of pulling the updates etc.

Is there a command line version of "Apply Change" that can be called from a bash script? Thank you!

I do this exact thing with cURL, by sending a POST request to ‘admin/configure.php’ and specifying the “config” form ID to the curl params. This is the equivalent of hitting “apply changes”.
Lots of examples out there on how to do this.

Caveat emptor: You’ll also need to specify the user/pass with cURL for the basic http auth to the admin section since it’s protected.

Your script modifies (applies a change to ) your configuration but you need to cycle (restart) the service task to implement those changes: look at the service_handle() function in the pistar-update script and extract what you need from it for inclusion in your script.

Thank you both - I was able to take KN2TOD's pointers and paste some commands in... works perfectly for what I need.
