I have my files for shows downloaded organized by show name. The results of the download are something like
“Kids Show S02E03.avi”
I’ll have “Parents show 1 S03E01.avi” “Dad Show S01E01.avi” etc.

Once the show is 100% complete, I’d like to move it to a particular directory, Like this

/ffp/bin/transmission-remote -l | grep Done | grep 100% | grep -v Ratio | /ffp/bin/cut -c 70-| while read i
do
ciel_ln=`find /mnt/HD_a2/Downloads -name “$i”`

If $i has ‘Kids’ in the name I want to move it to \TV\KidsShow folder.
If $i has ‘Parent’ in the name I want to move it to \TV\Parent folder.

I’ve been trying to get the right syntax for a substring, but just don’t have it.

Any help would be appreciated..

good work, much appreciated. thats all.

try 0 */3 * * *

0 3 * * * is every day at 3am
3 * * * * is every 3 minutes past the hour…i think.

Any ideas?

0 * * * * is every hour on the hour
30 3 * * * is every day at 3:30am

you can change the values to whatever you prefer. see http://www.scrounge.org/linux/cron.html

Also, the editcron.sh script which has the timing of when to check, does that mean it will pull the NAS out of sleep mode every hour on the hour? And then again every 3 hours on the 30 minute mark? Is that what the below means? Or is it every hour on the hour and then every 3.5 hours?

/bin/echo “0 * * * * /ffp/var/scripts/torrentwatchdog.sh >> /mnt/HD_a2/logs/torrentwd.log 2>&1″ >> $CRONTXT
/bin/echo “30 3 * * * /ffp/var/scripts/unpacker.sh >> /mnt/HD_a2/logs/unpack.log 2>&1″ >> $CRONTXT

Thanks,

So, if you are using rpc authorization (username and password), then for every transmission-remote line, add -n username:passwd.

Now I got it working with Transmission 1.52.

BUT!

Whenever I put new torrents into the folder, it does not detect instantly.
It will only detect whenever I stop or start torrentwatchdog.sh. Any idea why?

The script deleted the torrent once it was queued, so I modify the script to move the torrent instead so in case there is something wrong, I can just copy the torrent again.

in torrentwatchdog.sh, I changed this part:
# pick out .torrent files and queue them up
if [ “$FILE” != “$DIR/*.torrent” ]; then
echo [`date`] “$FILE” added to queue. >> $LOG
$TRANSMISSION_REMOTE -a “$FILE”
rm “$FILE”
echo [`date`] “$FILE” deleted. >> $LOG
sleep 1
fi
done
done

to this:
# pick out .torrent files and queue them up
if [ “$FILE” != “$DIR/*.torrent” ]; then
echo [`date`] “$FILE” added to queue. >> $LOG
$TRANSMISSION_REMOTE -a “$FILE”
mv “$FILE -f $USED_TORRENTS/$FILE”
echo [`date`] “$FILE” moved to “$USED_TORRENTS”. >> $LOG
sleep 1
fi
done
done

Can you check my code so the file will actually moved?
(currently it does not moved)

Thanks.

I tried this command and got the same error.
root@dlink-0A78F3:/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/var/scripts# /ffp/bin/transmission-remote -l

Can you give me the link to transmission v1.34?
