Scheduling

[big2o]

I have a suggestion for future versions of the program.

When adding a schedule it could be nice if there was an option in the frequency drop down menu for something like: Once/One time. or a specific date and/or time.
And when the operation that was scheduled is done that the schedule is deleted.

This request is already on the wishlist, it just hasn't been scheduled yet

you can pause, resume  and set download limits through the command line, you could therefore very easily use the Windows or UNIX scheduler to have extremely fancy schedules.  I  will assume that if you are using LINUX, you know enough how to do this yourself. if you are using Windows  create yourself three files  called sabpause.bat sabstart.bat and sabspeed.bat, you need  to download a program called wget too.

sabpause.bat

Code: Select all

c:\uutils\wget -q -O pause.tmp http://192.168.0.3:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=pause

sabstart.bat

Code: Select all

c:\uutils\wget -q -O pause.tmp http://192.168.0.3:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=resume

sabspeed.bat

Code: Select all

c:\uutils\wget -q -O pause.tmp "Http://192.168.0.3:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=config&name=speedlimit&value=%1"

you will obviously need to specify the location of wget  and to change your IP address in the HTTP  statement

you can then use the Windows scheduler to schedule pausing starting and speed limits to your hearts content

note the speed command will need you to specify the speed as a parameter to the batch file (0 being unlimited)

e.g. sabspeed.bat 100

the Windows scheduler has an advanced button at the end of the schedule you create which will  enable you to create really  complex schedules

I hope this helps
