Hi Mungo, Seems like chimerax --cmd “remote rest start” does it. You could provide a port number as an argument to the command if you don’t want to read an assigned one off standard input. —Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hi there,
Jalview has the ability to launch Chimera with "--start RESTServer", capture the port number from the response, and drive Chimera with REST commands.
I'm trying to figure out whether this mechanism is also provided with ChimeraX. I've read http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimerax-users/2017-July/000113.html <http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimerax-users/2017-July/000113.html> and looked at http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/startup.html <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/startup.html> and http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/options.html#start <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/options.html#start> but so far I can't see that "RESTServer" is a startable tool.
Is this, or is it planned to be, possible somehow?
Thanks,
Mungo
