Could you provide a linux shell command line that would initiate an EPG update within the running NextPVR service, essentially the same as requesting an EPG Update through the admin browser interface Settings / About / Update EPG button. If there isn't a direct way to request EPG Update through the NextPVR service ports or API, can you create a shell command line that submits a properly formatted html request to the service just as the admin browser ultimately does.

In certain situations I need to programmatically update the EPG without human intervention separate from the Scheduled updates within the NextPVR admin options. 

Separately, the SchedulesDirect auth Token survives the NextPVR service being restarted and gets reused until it expires at SchedulesDirect, how/where is this stored by NextPVR and can you provide a command line that clears out the SD token, wherever it is being preserved in the system files/memory.

Thanks for your assistance.

I don't help with user scripts but the SD token is saved on their host and it cannot be reset by clients. This makes it easier for multiple SD clients on the same IP to exist. This was a change a couple of months ago and seems to be working well.

NextPVR does generate a login with a new token if the token expires or the IP changes so this is not an issue unless the IP to SD is not static. If you use a VPN or T-Mobile which is not static you would need to contact SD for a solution.

If you use multiple IP"s make sure you offset the time you do the EPG. You only get 100 logins a day and if they overlap you can run out.
