The Daemon Isn't Running My Scripts.

Post by MehItsMe »

Hey all, hope this is the right forum!

I've installed transmission daemon on ubuntu 10.04 and its working quite well, except that I can't get the option that lets you run a script once a torrent is complete to work.
Extract of settings:
"script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "/opt/transmission/complete.sh",

The only thing I can think of is a permissions problem, so I've tried:
sudo chmod a+x complete.sh
From an account thats in the debian-transmission group and
sudo -u debian-transmission chmod a+x complete.sh
Neither of which have made any difference.

I'm fairly new to linux so its probably something simple, but I haven't a clue what.

Any pointers would be great.

Chears.

Have you tried running the script manually first? Some shells are fussy about the starting line. Have you tried this? Unrar and cleanup script

As a bonus: Transmissions settings.json can not be configured while running. If you make the changes to settings.json and then stop transmission your changes are gone.

good luck,
