Pause for X minutes

Post by fr500 »

Hey, there is a great feature in sabnzbd that is the ability to pause all transfers for a set amount of time, it's great for those times you want to hop online to do something important or let steam updates your games, etc and it's also great because then all downloads uploads will resume automatically.

if you don't need some fancy GUI button, this can already be accomplished in terminal very easily with transmission-remote command:

Code: Select all

$ transmission-remote -t all --stop ; sleep 15m ; transmission-remote -t all --start
the above pauses all torrents, waits 15 minutes, then starts them up again. of course this could be made into a simple bash script for convenience.
