Automated Reloading of a plugin

I use AppleScript within Indigo to check the status of other apps on my server. If I find one not running I restart it, but often indigo may not see it and give errors. Reloading that particular plugin resolves the issue. Is there a way to call for a plugin reload with AppleScript?

You can restart plugins in Python scripts. Create an action group that runs the script. Then execute the action group from your AppleScript when needed.

From a noob in Python the following is what I was able to glean but I feel something is missing:

plugin = indigo.server.getPlugin("com.perceptiveautomation.indigoplugin.Cynical SecuritySpy")
if plugin.isEnabled():
plugin.restart()

Am I right as there is no response.

The ID for the SecuritySpy plugin is "org.cynic.indigo.securityspy". So you need to do:

Code: Select all

plugin = indigo.server.getPlugin("org.cynic.indigo.securityspy")
if plugin.isEnabled():
   plugin.restart()


You need to look inside the info.plist file in the plugin to get the value of the CFBundleIdentifier, which is the Plugin ID.
