Hi. i have managed to install and setup sab using this guide http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/install-ubuntu-repo but for some reason. whenever i boot my ubuntu server, sab doesnt start automatically. it only starts once i login via ssh into my server and type sabnzbplus to start it.
if i dont do this, i cant access the ui for sab and so get the impressions sab cant be started automatically. also. if i do start it via ssh, when i close/terminate my connection to my server by closing down putty, SAB seems to shut itself down as well
starting sab automatically in ubuntu?

* make sure you start it as a deamon.
* With an init.d scriptyou can make it to start at boot
Isn't that included ?

Re: starting sab automatically in ubuntu?

E45: 'readonly' option is set (add ! to override)

You forgot to use the force. Try with sudo in front of the vi command.jonneymendoza wrote:edit: i tried editing the ini file using vi /etc/default/sabnzbdplus and everytime i try to save the file by typing ZZ i get the following error below:

Re: starting sab automatically in ubuntu?
cool ok i got it working but it doesnt start at boot time. there does not seem to be any options under the etc/init.d/sabnzbplus file to specify it to be started automatically at boot time
