I am guessing the problem probably lies in how I have the PC set up to reboot but am not sure why?

Mysterious category problem
I have a strange problem which I am having trouble tracking down. I use NZB.su SabNZB integration to send nzb's directly to the program. SabNZB assigns it to the default category which I then change later to the one I want. It all looks good my PC goes on standby until 2:30 am where I have it scheduled to first reset and once booted up again to start downloading. When I check it has successfully downloaded in the default location. I have tried to emulate the situation during daylight hours by changing the category and then forcing the download and it downloads it to the appropriate folder.

Re: Mysterious category problem
SABnzbd doesn't like it when it doesn't get the time to save its internal
administration to disk, before it's stopped.
It would be wise to program a pause or shutdown in SABnzbd's own scheduler
a few minutes before you make the PC go into standby.

Re: Mysterious category problem
SABNzb is already in a paused state before it goes into standby so not sure if that is the problem. It also doesn't go into standby for at least 15 minutes after I change the category.shypike wrote:SABnzbd doesn't like it when it doesn't get the time to save its internal

Should I try adding a Shutdown to the schedule prior to the PC restarting or does SabNZB "elegantly" shutdown anyway when windows shuts down?

Graceful shutdown is always better, but Windows can be impatient.
The only way around is to run SABnzbd as a service, Windows is much more patient then.
Reading you first post again, I'm not sure what you think goes wrong.

Not sure what goes wrong here.
