Does executing script-torrent-done block transmission?

[meilon]

Hi there,

I firstly only used script-torrent-done to run a script informing me by e-mail that a torrent finished. Now the script converts specific files and uploads it over the web. While converting and uploading I can't access the web client. Is this by design? And does the rest of transmission also stop doing anything?

In my opinion, transmission should execute my script in a separate thread so the website keeps responding.

transmission 2.12 is running on a debian headless server

It does block in 2.1x, but not in 2.2x

You can solve this NOW by surrounding your script with { } &.

For example: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10364

Thank you both for your replies. I will update to 2.2x soon. For fixing this right now, do you mean my config entry should look like this:

Code: Select all

"script-torrent-done-filename": "{ /srv/transmission-emails/libevent-mail.sh >> /srv/transmission-emails/output.log 2>&1} &",

Correct?

Probably not. Best put the { } & inside a new script that calls the libevent-mail.sh script.
