SABnzbd on WD My Book Live

[benjamin11]

Hi all,

I managed to install SABnzbd on a WD My Book Live, wich runs on a Debian Lenny distribution.
I can run SABnzbd in the SSH terminal with:

Code: Select all

MyBookLive:~# python /opt/SABnzbd-0.6.1/SABnzbd.py 0.0.0.0:8080

But the problem is that SABnzbd stops when I close the terminal.
And the benefit of running SABnzbd on a NAS is that you don't need a computer anymore.
How can I get SABnzbd to run on its own?

I'm sorry for my lack of Debian knowledge, but this is my first Debian/Linux experience ever!

Thank you

I've tried using screen, but it says 'Command not found'.
So now I'm trying to run it as a daemon. I've found this page: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/install-as-a-unix-daemon
But as I said earlier, my knowledge of Linux is bad, and my coding skills aren't that good either.

So what do I use to create this script?
Do I have to compile it? Can I do this in Xcode?
Or do I just have to insert the code in a text document and let Debian compile it?

thanks for the help!

Just start it from a terminal like this:

./SABnzbd.py -d -f /path/to/sabnzbd.ini

Note that the folders will now all be in /path/to instead of in the user's home folder.

this doesn't work either.


Todat I've tries to run the script from http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/install-as-a-unix-daemon
I edited it to this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
  echo "Starting SABnzbd."
  /usr/bin/sudo -u USERNAME -H /opt/SABnzbd-0.6.2/SABnzbd.py -d -f /home/USERNAME/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
;;
stop)
  echo "Shutting down SABnzbd."
  /usr/bin/wget -q --delete-after "http://0.0.0.0:8085/sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown&apikey=MY-API-KEY"
;;
*)
  echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
  exit 1
esac

exit 0

In USERNAME I've place the username to log in to my My Book Live, and in MY-API-KEY I placed the api key I got from SABnzbd.
I named the script 'sabnzbd' and placed the script in /etc/init.d
I made the script executable using:

Code: Select all

chmod a+x /etc/init.d/sabnzbd

But then I tried to set up symlinks using

Code: Select all

update-rc.d sabnzbd defaults

But it returned:

Code: Select all

update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/sabnzbd missing LSB information
update-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>
 Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/sabnzbd ...
   /etc/rc0.d/K20sabnzbd -> ../init.d/sabnzbd
   /etc/rc1.d/K20sabnzbd -> ../init.d/sabnzbd
   /etc/rc6.d/K20sabnzbd -> ../init.d/sabnzbd
   /etc/rc2.d/S20sabnzbd -> ../init.d/sabnzbd
   /etc/rc3.d/S20sabnzbd -> ../init.d/sabnzbd
   /etc/rc4.d/S20sabnzbd -> ../init.d/sabnzbd
   /etc/rc5.d/S20sabnzbd -> ../init.d/sabnzbd

off course I took a look at the Debian wiki, but my experience with writing scripts is zero, so I don't exactly know what's wrong.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Hi all,
I managed to install SABnzbd on a WD My Book Live, wich runs on a Debian Lenny distribution.

I just bought a My Book Live 2TB and would love to install SABnzbd. Would you mind posting the steps to set it up, I'm new to the Debian distro. I should be able to help with the Daemon stuff too.

p.s. I've already enabled ssh and installed optware.

This thread seems to know how, with the topic starter only making a small config error but otherwise having a working setup. Just adding " -s 0.0.0.0:8080" to the line that guy uses to start the application should fix that, without the need to edit config files.
