SABnzbd Forums

I'm running a ubuntu server on a machine, that has sabnzbd installed.
however, I need to reroute all the connections through a http proxy.
usually i do that with proxychains (I start sab with the command "proxychains sabnzbdplus")

but I want sab to autostart as a service when I boot the machine.
how can I change the regular sabnzbdplus service so it ALWAYS starts via proxychains?

I've already tried to edit the sabnzbdplus-file in /etc/init.d/
however I'm not sure which line to change...

is there a general approach on how to change the service startup-command of applications?

Debian and derivatives are replacing SysV with Upstart. Upstart will easily do what you require. Hopefully the sab deb packages will support Upstart sometime soon.

what do I do until then?

I _need_ to route all my connections through this proxy - otherwise I can't really use sab

I might have misunderstood you...
but I thought u meant that upstart currently doesn't work with sab - since you said "I hope ....sab will support upstart soon"

Whether upstart or sysv-init: integrating something like proxychains is unlikely to ever be part of the regular init script distributed in the normal packaging. So if you want it, start scripting/modifying.
