Torrent complete script help

[windyboi]

Hello

I have written my first ever bash script and would really appreciate some help if this will work before I deploy it and break anything!!

I will be running this script on my FreeNAS jail:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash
# IF torrent contains music (torrent folder is in /mnt/music) then copy it to the afp share /mnt/newmusic

parentdir="$(dirname "$TR_TORRENT_DIR")"
if [ $parentdir="/mnt/music/" ]
then
cp $TR_TORRENT_DIR /mnt/newmusic
fi

Thank you so much

Doesn't seem to work :/ I've set the script for permissions 777 and tested it out but it's not happening. Argh!

Right I think I have bigger problems than formatting of the script..


In the FreeNAS GUI for transmission settings, under "Script torrent done" I've got /scripts/test.sh

test.sh is executable by all and contains:

#!/usr/local/bin/sh
echo "test" >> /scripts/test.txt

But, upon completion of a torrent, the script does NOT have the desired effect.

Do you know what might be causing this?

/scripts is also writeable by all (777 permission)

both the test.sh file and the directory are owned by the transmission user

I can't find any settings.json using the guidance you provided. I am using FreeNAS built in transmission plugin, which has its own GUI options and thats is where I put the path to the script.

And yes, the test.txt isn't even created.

Thanks

OMG the problem was the shebang at the top.. for whatever reason I was using /usr/local in my test and i changed t to just /bin/sh and now it works.

Sorry for hassle.. thanks for your assistance
