Thank you so much. I am also unfamiliar with syntax for CLI commands. I'm running calibre on a Mac, would it be any different? I've seen people use = and " and [ to encapsulate the path...not sure what is correct. using = as you posted, my shell script hangs when i try to run it. using " i don't see anything happening in terms of auto add when i put files in the designated autoadd folder (in dropbox)

I've written two shell scripts so that it can run on start.

First one is:
/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/calibredb add --with-library "/Volumes/Ministack/Calibre Library" --recurse "/Users/Dropbox/Books/"

Second one is:
/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS/calibre-server -p 2700 --with-library "/Volumes/Ministack/Calibre Library" --restriction general --daemonize

Is my logic correct, or am I missing something here? thank you again, and thanks for the quick response! looking for some more advice here.
