Stop Torrents automatically after 5 days

[Mondscheinchen]

How can I stop torrents after they are seeding 5 days or even better how to stop them if they have a specific ratio or after seeding 5 days? I'm running transmission 2.12 headless on a Linux NAS at the moment. (with root terminal login)

Something like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# Global variables
USER=your_transmission_user
PASSWD=your_transmission_password

# Obtain index ids of completed torrents.
torrent_ids=$(transmission-remote -n $USER:$PASSWD -l\
        | awk '$5=="Done"{print $1}')

for index in $torrent_ids; do
        # Get creation date from torrent details.
        created=$(transmission-remote -n $USER:$PASSWD -t $index -i\
                | grep "Date added:"\
                | cut -d: -f2-\
                | sed 's/^ *//')

        echo -e "Torrent $index:\n\tcreated:$created"

        # Calculate torrent's age.

        # Convert dates to timestap so they can be substracted.
        now_ts=$(date +%s)
        torrent_ts=$(date +%s -d "$created")


        # Substract timestamps and get days difference.
        secs_in_day=86400
        age=`echo \($now_ts - $torrent_ts\) / $secs_in_day| bc`

        echo -e "\tthat's $age days old."

        # If it's older than 5 days old, delete it.
        if [ $age -ge 5  ]; then
                echo -e "\t *** Removing ***"
                echo -e "\ttransmission-remote -n $USER:$PASSWD -t $index --remove-and-delete"
        else
                echo -e "\tKept."
        fi
done

Change the global variables to match your user and password (usually transmission and transmission if not changed).

The line that's actually removing the torrent is commented (echo -e "\ttrans...") so you can test it first in your sytem. When you are sure is working for you, change the line for

Code: Select all

transmission-remote -n $USER:$PASSWD -t $index --remove-and-delete

I tested this on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS using transmission-daemon version 2.13 (11501) from ppa.

I hope it helps.
