SABnzbd Forums

Hi there,

I'm currently trying to create a post-processing script that creates a filelist in the downloaded folder. SABnzbd is currently running on my QNAP NAS.

The script I tried looks like this: However, after successfully running the script, the filelist.txt doesn't appear in the folder that theoretically should have been chosen using "cd $1".

What am I doing wrong? I am very new to Linux, so any help would be appreciated!

Is the script being run at all? You can see this is History.

Yes, after unpacking the script ran without any warnings or errors.

change the script to this:
... download something ... what is the output in SABnzbd ... ? Post it here.

The output of the script is: However, there is still no filelist.txt file in the downloaded folder.

$1 might be empty.

For testing purposes, add a line that sends $1 to stdout (which will be shown in the SABnzbd log). This will allow you to evaluate $1.

So it runs, and completes. Good.

Before the "echo Done", you can put in:

ls filelist.txt

... to see if it's there at all.

It could be rights problems: the user running the script not allowed or able to write the file $1/filelist.txt

Oh, yes. Or spaces in $1 might cause problems

$1 might be empty.

I tried this, everything looks normal in this line. But looking through the log file, I discovered another interesting thing (shame on me... ): As it turned out, unwanted files are removed after running the post-processing script (other than expected). Now that I unchecked txt files, everything works!

hahahaha. nice
