Delay start of sabnzbd+ on Ubuntu (XBMC Live)

[subsense]

I managed to auto-start sabnzbdplus on an ASrock installed with XBMC Live.
Could not have done this without the great help and howto's here.

But, I need to delay the start of sabnzbdplus.
It looks like the mounts aren't up when I start sabnzbdplus resulting in the following errors:

Code: Select all

2009-09-13 19:59:55,647 ERROR complete_dir directory: /home/xbmc/nas/Unzipt error accessing
2009-09-13 19:59:55,662 ERROR [sabnzbd.misc] Cannot create directory /home/xbmc/nas/nzb/Done
2009-09-13 19:59:55,664 ERROR dirscan_dir directory: /home/xbmc/nas/nzb error accessing

(/home/xbmc/nas is a mount to my nas)

They show up when I give the "sudo reboot" command, or on cold boot.

When I shutdown sabnzbdplus from the webinterface en start it again from the prompt in deamon mode ik get no errors.
I want to delay the startup of sabnzbdplus with a minute to test is this is the cause.

I nicer way is to make an if...then routine orso (if mounts are up, then start sabnzbdplus).

How do you start SABnzbd?
If you use some kind of init.d script, you will need to edit that script
and put in a "sleep" or a loop that waits for the mount to complete.

Yes, I use the init.d method. And I was thinking about editing the script.
But I'm not a star in Linux Scripts, so I assume I have to go to the ubuntu fora?
Or is it just the command "sleep "?

I can't really guestimate what would happen if one puts a (possibly) infinitely looping sleep statement in an init script, so try the following.

1. Disable the normal auto-startup:

Code: Select all

sudo sysvconfig --disable sabnzbdplus

2. Create a file with a script like this (obviously, you should place it outside the directory you're testing for):

Code: Select all

while [ ! -d /YOUR/DIR/HERE ]; do sleep 10; done
/etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start

3. Make things run on startup by adding a line to /etc/rc.local:

Code: Select all

/bin/sh /PATH/TO/YOUR/SCRIPT.sh &

Thanks,

This is a good start for me! I will let my progress know.
