Updated from 1.81 to 1.92: Now E-Mail-Script broken

[meilon]

Hi,

I recently updated my install of transmission bt from 1.81 to 1.92 on my debian linux box. I used the E-Mail Notification Script and it worked very well, but after the update, I get sporadic mails about torrents already finished and mailed before.

I don't think it's the script, the transmission-remote app seems to be responding not 100% like before. My skills in debugging those things are very limited, but I'll do everything to help finding the cause.

Already tried:
- deleted the notified file
- redownloaded the script, only changed the variables (also added the PATH variable) and deleted the notified file again

FYI:
Debian Linux 2.6.9 i686
./configure --disable-gtk --enable-nls --enable-cli --enable-daemon
Cronjob, E-Mail-Script and transmission are on the same server, script is configured with "localhost"

Any Idea will be much appreciated!

Regards
meilon

I don't use the script but it sounds like the script is the one that doesn't work... and the reason is probably that the format and some wording of the transmission-remote program changed (between 1.81 and the 1.9x series there's a new column, and there are sometimes multiple words, with spaces in between, where there were only single words).

So, to fix it, you have to check the script. Try executing each command by hand and figure out which line is wrong. The most probable wrong lines are the ones that use awk (or gawk), grep, sed, and cut (again, I don't use the script and haven't even looked at it).
