API to clear logs? What about restart Channels?

Playground Hacks
#1

Any chance there is an API that will let me clear the logs? Additionally is there an API that will allow me to restart Channels?

#2

Stop the Channels service, move the log file to a different name/location, restart Channels. A new empty log file will be created at startup.

You could always use your operating system's service management facility to handle this (launchctl, systemd, docker, etc.).

#3

You can forcibly restart the DVR using:

curl -XPUT http://127.0.0.1:8089/updater/force/restart

This will work on Mac / Linux. I believe Windows would be different but I don't use Windows...
