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

and looked at 

http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/startup.html

and

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
