SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

I configured my SABnzbd+ 0.4.4 to use a script that contains the following :

echo "dollar1 : $1
dollar2 : $2
dollar3 : $3
dollar4 : $4
dollar5 : $5
dollar6 : $6" > /tmp/toto

And other commands. The script is launched (all my commands are executed) the file /tmp/toto is created, but it contains only :

dollar1 :
dollar2 :
dollar3 :
dollar4 :
dollar5 :
dollar6 :

So, it didn't get the variables from SABnzbd+
Is there something i do wrong, or i misunderstand ?

Thanks for you support

Have you tried the sample Sample-PostProc.sh shell script in the SABnzbd distribution?

Start from that.

Have you first tried to diagnose your script from  a shell script ?

What happens if you use the sample script and add your >/tmp/toto to it?

doctor@stan:~$ sh .sabnzbd/scripts/Sample-PostProc.sh > toto
doctor@stan:~$ cat toto

Started as .sabnzbd/scripts/Sample-PostProc.sh

The first parameter (result-dir)  =
The second parameter (nzb-name)   =
The third parameter (nice name)   =
The fourth parameter (newzbin-id) =
The fifth parameter (category)    =
The sixth parameter (group)       =


When i read .sabnzbd/scripts/Sample-PostProc.sh, i can understand it will echo the previous lines + the content of different variables ($1, $2...) those variables are the args in the cmdline :

doctor@stan:~$ sh .sabnzbd/scripts/Sample-PostProc.sh test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6 > toto
doctor@stan:~$ cat toto

Started as .sabnzbd/scripts/Sample-PostProc.sh

The first parameter (result-dir)  = test1
The second parameter (nzb-name)   = test2
The third parameter (nice name)   = test3
The fourth parameter (newzbin-id) = test4
The fifth parameter (category)    = test5
The sixth parameter (group)       = test6


So, maybe i don't understand what those post processing scripts are supposed to do. My wish is to have a post processing script changing ownership of resulting dir.

Or maybe i need to know the way SABnzb+ is launching post procs scripts

That should do the trick.

i did this in my "final" script :

#!/bin/sh
FINAL_DIR=$1
chmod 2770 $FINAL_DIR
exit 0

But i always have an error telling me :
chmod: opérande manquante après `2770' (missing operator after 2770)

There's definitely something fishy with your system or with the way you installed SABnzbd.
Have you tried alternative shells?

#!/bin/bash
#!/bin/ksh

What kind of Lnux system do you have?

i'm using debian etch, i tried with /bin/sh and /bin/bash
i configured for use with ksh, and i'll see what happens

about my SABnzbd installation, i just downloaded the dir from your website, then started it with my user (!=root), with this cmdline :
python /usr/local/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -f /home/doctor/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini -s localhost:3423 -d

anything wrong with it ?

Looks all OK.
What does the logging file show (you may need to set the logging level to "debug").

in logs i've that line :

2008-11-03 15:40:19,765::INFO::[newsunpack] Running external script /home/doctor/.sabnzbd/scripts/postproc-defaults.sh(/home/ftp/warez/nzb/doctor/pm5.ga.s05e05.vostfr.nfo, pm5.ga.s05e05.vostfr.nfo.nzb, pm5.ga.s05e05.vostfr.nfo, , doctor, alt.binaries.gougouland)

Is it normal ? Are those values the variables sent to sabnzbd ?


EDIT : I'm idiot I forgot to forward my variables from one script to another... i corrected it, and it's ok
