[chimerax-users] Starting ChimeraX programmatically with remotecontrol

[Mungo Carstairs (Staff)]

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
