Service update always needed?

Post by asarian »

Just a quick noob question. :)

Do you need to update the service for *every* config change you make? (Like to some switches). Like running:

SABnzbd-service.exe -f "C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd" --server 0.0.0.0:8080 update

Thanks.

There's gotta be someone who knows this. :)

Also, is there any good reason why SABnzbd, running as service, wouldn't be able to read its own config file on restarts?

The problem is that it's not given the direct path to the INI, so that's why you need to tell it.

From what I get from the code, the update is only nessecary when you change any of the command-line options (http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/command-line-parameters)
Because with these options it get's saved in the windows-services-registry.
So not for Switches of course.
