I have been adding slews of tv and movie dvd stub files.
I can add them with scripts I wrote, from the command line.
So, I have to wait until I am back to my tv to kick off scan for new content.
This operation can take a long time and I'd love to kick this off when I've adeded 50-100 disks so it will be
done when I get home.
I know there is a way to do it from EventGhost (if your using that). I've also read on the Lifehacker blog that there are other ways as well (fully automated XBMC blog post I believe).

Lifehacker points to doing it with eventghost......
I'd love something like this:
# xbmc scan/newcontent/source=TV
# xbmc update/library
# xbmc update/source=TV
I could see a whole bunch of possiblities that would allow us to automate alot of tasks from cron, or batch scripts.
Even return some info. like:
# numshows=`xbmc count/source=TVShows`
Or allow remote operation:
# xbmc play/filename='/path/to/file/filename'
# xbmc play/movie='Library Movie Name'
# xbmc play/tvshow='TV Show name S02E03'
# xbmc play/music/album='Album name'
# xbmc pause|stop|start
# xbmc queueadd/album='Album name'
