crontab management && processing scripts management

Post by kwy »

Hi,

I think it would be useful to have a crontab management and a processing scripts management inside the GUI.
The main idea behind those requests is to maximize the use of the GUI and to minimize the console login.

crontab management
  • ability to handle processing and jobs that run under the same user as sabnzbd
scripts management
  • upload/update/remove processing scripts from the GUI
  • execute/test script output
  • manage default options passed to the scripts when they are called
The crontab management should be the easiest to implement with: The scripts management feature certainly needs some additional brainstorming for a good implementation but with it comes a great enhancement for sabnzbd.

Cheers,
kwy.

Apart from the obvious scope issues / feature creep, this would introduce the ability to create, modify and run shell commands by anyone with access to the web interface. I doubt if that's desirable in terms of security.

I agree that it can be an use but there is a parameter to avoid access to the configuration for web users so this is a good way to mitigate such kind of issue.
