Clarkconnect 4.2 ~ SABnzbd Daemon

[sedaai]

Hi all,

I have installed SABnzbd following the directions exactly at http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/install-cc42 (Only modification I made was to move the SABnzbd folder to /usr/local/src/

Now I am trying to run SABnzbd as a daemon so I don't need to have a terminal running all the time, I have tried following the instructions Unix Daemon instructions however I am receiving an error, I was hoping someone could have a look and tell me where im going wrong;

# /etc/init.d/SABnzbd #

#! /bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
  echo "Starting SABnzbd."
  /usr/bin/sudo -u root -H /usr/local/src/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /root/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini
;;
stop)
  echo "Shutting down SABnzbd."
  /usr/bin/wget -q --delete-after "http://0.0.0.0:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown"
;;
*)
  echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
  exit 1
esac

exit 0

This is the error when I try running /etc/init.d/SABnzbD

[root@gateway ~]# /etc/init.d/SABnzbD start

The files are definately located in those folders, any help would be much appreciated.

for security reasons, I would *highly* recommend not using root for daemon processes.  If there were ever a way to execute arbitrary code or permissions were not set restrictvely enough on the code the daemon runs, it would be executed with root privileges.

For a lot of gnu systems, we use a utility called start-stop-daemon.  Particularly on gentoo linux like I run, we use a combination of init.d/conf.d scripts for configuring and controller daemons.  this is why my init.d looks like (variables not declared here are declared in the corresponding conf.d script, that's just how runscript rolls):

Code: Select all

#!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2007 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $

opts="start stop"

depend() {
    need net
}

start() {
    ebegin "Starting SABnzbd+"
    if ! check_config ; then
        eend 1
        return 1
    fi

    start-stop-daemon --quiet --start -c ${SAB_USER}:${SAB_GROUP} \
        --exec /var/lib/SABnzbd+/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -- -s ${SAB_HOSTNAME}:${SAB_PORT} -d &> /dev/null
    eend $?
}

stop() {
    ebegin "Stopping SABnzbd+"
    curl -s http://${SAB_HOSTNAME}:${SAB_PORT}/sabnzbd/shutdown > /dev/null
    eend $?
}

check_config() {
    if [ ! -e ${SAB_CONFIGFILE} ] ; then
        eerror "ERROR: can't find ${SAB_CONFIGFILE}."
        return 1
    else
        return 0
    fi
}

as you can see, start-stop-daemon is a super great way of starting and stoping daemons.  If you don't have that available, you might want to give something like this a try if sudo isn't working quite right:

Code: Select all

su ${SABUSER} -c "${SABCOMMANDS}"

I think something's getting screwed up with your -f argument and sudo is executing your config file as a script, the fact that it's going through trying to RUN your config settings.  The fix could be as easy as wrapping your whole sudo command in quotes "".  Try that and post back if you still need help on this.

Wasn't daemonized sabnzbd easier with setup.py and /etc/sabnzbd.conf?  *sigh*

I saw that a general (?) unix daemon start/stop script has been added to the wiki under install as a unix daemon, which is helpful.

However, the Gentoo version by mantis006 seems rather useful as well - perhaps this could also be added to the wiki?

Additionally, my BusyBox enabled Synology107+ NAS did not respond well to the sudo command used in the wiki-article: I had to change this to:

Code: Select all

su -l $User -c "/volume1/opt/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /volume1/opt/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.ini" 

where User has been set to guest (and not root, ever). Obviously, the path is specific to my installation.

Maybe this could warrant a reopening of Ticket #15 ?

Maybe this could warrant a reopening of Ticket #15 ?

It isn't closed...

The section is applicable for full operating systems like Ubuntu, RedHat, Suse etc.
Not particularly to embedded derivatives like NAS, which tend to have
older and/or stripped OS'es (for good reasons).

We do not support NAS solutions, since we do not have the resources to so,
especially given the sheer number of them and the idiosyncrasies of each.
However, some NAS support forums do an good job.
So maybe we should add pointers to those boards instead.
