BMT actually supports cmd commands?

From the BMT webinterface i can ask SageTV to look for new media with a mouseclick.

I'm not much for mouse clicks and such, so i was wondering if there on my sagetv-server is a command i can run which will make SageTV go look for new media?

but i got it working as a httprequest in c#
