Transmission

SUCCESS!!!

Just tested the latest version of the script, and it sorts files from the tracker into the proper directory, while other torrents remain in the unsorted directory.

Rb07, Radir.. Thanks so much for your help!

p.s. Should I be worried about my corrupted memory?

Sure.. thanks!

Mmm. I'm not sure. The script as it stands is posted below.

(Thanks for explaining how the asterisks work.. I'm keen to learn and its useful)

#!/bin/bash -x

# DEBUG
LOG=/home/user/Downloads/Complete/Unsorted/$$.log
exec > $LOG 2>&1

HOST=localhost
PORT=40000
USER=user
PASS=password
TR=/usr/bin ...

I made that change to that line, but nothing has moved from the standard directory just yet.. Could I be stating the tracker name wrong? Perhaps try cycling torrents.nl?

+ HOST=localhost
+ PORT=40000
+ USER=user
+ PASS=password
+ TR=/usr/bin/transmission-remote
+ REMOTE='/usr/bin/transmission ...

So after including the log line, and reading the first log, the script was not finding the transmission-remote program at /bin/, so I repointed it to /usr/bin.

Then I ran it again, and the file was not moved, but the log file is as below..

Once again, thanks for all your help guys!

+ HOST ...

I saw that.. thanks!

So I've had the script run a few times on torrents completing from the particular tracker, and none of them were moved. I'm guessing that it might be syntax of how I am entering the tracker ID under variables ($TRACKER). If I use transmission-remote to list the tracker, it ...

Firstly, apologies for using the wrong forum - Perhaps an admin out there could move it..?

Then RB07 - THANK YOU for your help.. very comprehensive. I'll give it a try now, and let you know.

Ta,
Jean

Hi All

First time poster here - I have searched the forums, and looked at the different boards so I'm hoping this is the right forum for this..(?). I have no experience with scripting beyond the basic stuff, so please forgive me if it is anything obvious.

I was looking for a post-processing script ...
