SABnzbd Forums

I`ve got a request for the great / amazing Sabnzbd program.
As I run sabnzbd on my synology nas i`d like the ability to shutdown sabnzbd after all the jobs have been completed (not completely shutdown the computer / nas, but only sabnzbd).

This should be pretty easy to implement as it only requires some changes in the current shutdown code (i guess, not a coder myself  )


Thanks in advance.

Not to bash your request but why shut the program down? Why not just let it run when it is doing nothing since it doesn't take any processor power when idle.

Because my NAS won`t go in to idle mode when sabnzbd is running

I think the common solution to NAS devices not going into idle mode with SABnzbd running is to put the blackhole directory on an external USB flash stick.

Anyway, destined for 0.4.0 is the ability to run a script after the queue has been completed. This should allow a very simple script to be able to shutdown linux based devices.

That could indeed be the solution, i`ll check this later tonight if that fixes my problem.

Thank you.
