I tried that, but it didn’t work for me. For whatever reason, SAB would not start up at all on boot.

But I already deleted that (I’m working with Ubuntu on VM’s, and I need space) and started anew with Ubuntu Server, which seems more lightweight and suits my needs better.

I’ll try to get SAB installed on Ubuntu Server and *hopefully* get it to run on startup, and try to access it via browser on different pc, and report back here.

Later m8

Hi Avi,

To start a command at boot, you can add it to the list of startup items in the Gnome Session manager. What I did was create a startsabnzb command and add that to my list of startup items.

I didn’t try to change the email program to download zip files. Just didn’t need it. I suggest you just try it!

I was looking to move my blog to another server, so I can have full control over my wordpress installation, but that will have to happen later.

Your email script looks really cool, I’ll try it out asap.

I assume that to get it to download zipfiles too I must change “nzb” to “nzb, zip” or something? Please bear with me, I’m really n00bish when it comes to coding.

Also, I don’t really get how to make Sabnzbd run on startup. It doesn’t matter if it opens the browser, as long as it runs. Can you help me with this?

Tnx again.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I did try to daemonize it, but if SABnzbd+ would startup, it kept on opening my browser. That’s why I altered the program.

As of your question about restarting SABnzbd+: There’s no real “stop” command, so you’ll have to kill it.

#:~$ ps x | grep "SABnzbd"
6284 ? Sl 13:18 /usr/bin/python -OO /mydir/sabnzbd/sabnzbd-0.3.0rc3/SABnzbd.py --nobrowser -d -f /mydir/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
7026 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep SABnzbd
#:~$ kill -9 6284
#:~$


A little fiddling on the commandline taught me the following command:

kill -9 `ps x | egrep "SABnzbd" -m1| awk '{ print $1}'`

Now, SABnzbD will shutdown.

Oh, by the way: like your theme, had it for a while ago And, I altered the screenshot. Downloading is legal here, but no need to piss off the wrong people ofcourse.

PPS: If you like SABnzbd, maybe you also like my extension: attdownload.py. You can find it in the SABnzbd section of my download page.
