Preface; i had SABplus installed succesfully via the websites instructions. Shortly after i came upon an article that had me remove unrar and install another unrar application.

1. I decided to purge everything from SAB (and also purging) the previous winrar(?) version.

2. i reinstalled sab and unrar

3. after restarting SAB i found that everything(!) is working again, happy ever after! Just..sab wont let me autostart it, when i check i get this in return;

Code: Select all

tim@dc-nashost:~$ sudo service sabnzbdplus start
[sudo] password for tim:
tim@dc-nashost:~$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
tim@dc-nashost:~$ systemctl status sabnzbd
● sabnzbd.service
     Loaded: bad-setting (Reason: Unit sabnzbd.service has a bad unit file setting.)
     Active: inactive (dead)

Aug 13 17:18:33 dc-nashost systemd[1]: sabnzbd.service: Service has no ExecStart=, ExecStop=, or SuccessAction=. Refusi>
update:
i added the following lines to

ExecStop=/usr/bin/pkill sabnzbdplus
