The correct command sequence, which you only need once. ```auto tar xf PlexDBRepair-Test.tar.gz chmod +x DBRepair-Test.sh ``` 1. First command extracts everything from the `tar.gz` file 2. Second gives the file ( I only put one file in the tar.gz ) execute permission and now you can run it. ---

@SE56 So you can see what it’s doing, the `v` option in `tar xvf` will print every file it’s eXtracting. ```auto [chuck@lizum tmp.2014]$ tar xvf DBRepair-Test.tar.gz ./DBRepair-Test.sh [chuck@lizum tmp.2015]$ ``` ---

Thanks so much for adding the command line options. I’ve been using the menu ever since but the whole run takes like 20+ minutes and I’d like it to just do everything in one command, especially starting the server once it’s finished. ```auto ./DBRepair.sh stop auto start exit ``` ---

So to achieve a auto PMS shut down with Terminal with PlexDPRepair. Is this now possible? Presently I need to manually shut down PMS, is my understanding that is what required for 1.10.03 MacOS? @ChuckPa Cheers ---
