New ZM user here. While I've found that zmpkg.pl does what I need for stopping and starting ZM from a command line, I'd like to be able to script the enabling / disabling of individual cameras, also from a command line but am unsure how. Is this possible?

If all you want to do is enable/disable, explore zmu

After a lengthy hiatus I'm now finally able to properly tend to my ZM once again.
Unfortunately, it appears that zmu won't or can't suspend or disable individual cameras. The help screen has commands for both --suspend and --disable but neither seem to work. No error (or success) is returned and MODECT continues on as if nothing changed. I tried this on all 5 cameras with the same results.
There has to be a way to perform an individual camera disable (or suspend or run state) from the command line that I'm just not seeing, doesn't there?

Never mind, I'm a moron. I discovered that zmu requires root. sudo zmu -m etc works fine.
