SABnzbd Forums

hi,
i use sabnzbd on a linux server.
can i change the the owner group of created files ? (now files created is root:root right)
juste change permission is not the better solution but perhaps the only one ?

Run SABnzbd under the user account that should own the files.
There's no need to run it as root (it's safe if you don't).

ok thx,
i'm on debian server.
i use the commande line "python /.../.../sabnzbd.py -f /.../.../sabnzbd.ini -d" to run it on the boot,
do you know how to launch it with a specific acount ?

See the Wiki: http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/install-as-a-unix-daemon
The crucial bit is:

thx a lot for the links,

on debian the great command is su -c 'python..............' user

also i do this :

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
  echo "Starting SABnzbd."
  su -c ' /usr/local/src/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -f /home/sabuser/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini' user
;;
stop)
  echo "Shutting down SABnzbd."
  /usr/bin/wget -q --delete-after "http://HOSTADDRESS:PORT/sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown&apikey=ENTERAPIKEYHERE"
;;
*)
  echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
  exit 1
esac

exit 0

and it works perfectly
