SABnzbd+ CLI shell script

Hey folks,

This is a very quick, very dirty shell script to give you some command line control over sabnzbd.  It does very little error checking, but it works.  It requires bash, wget, xmlstarlet, sed, awk, grep, etc.

It doesn't support using usernames/passwords to access the web interface, but you shouldn't find it too hard to add support if you need to.  I'm not really planning on updating/supporting this, I just wanted to share it since it works for me and others might get some value from it.

If anyone wants to clean it up, handle errors, make it not use xmlstarlet, make it better at taking user input, please be my guest.

Code: Select all
