Monitor folder not being scanned while scheduler is paused

Post by rolex »

Hi folks..

I am on one of these ISP's where I only have a 200gb monthly cap, but have unlimited downloading window between 2am-8am every day. So I tried adding this in my scheduler, like this:

Then as the day and night goes by, and new stuff comes out, I can just download the NZB's as needed and send them to my monitor directory.. The problem is, I cannot get SABNZBD to continue importing and scanning the monitor directory while the scheduler has sabnzbd paused, so I never know exactly how big my queue is and what episodes I've already downloaded unless I manually check the monitor directory, or wait until 2AM for it to start downloading..

I know its a trivial problem, I could probably just press the unpause button for a second then re-pause it, but I can't help but wonder if I'm missing the option somewhere so I don't need to keep doing it like this?

In a nutshell, I want it to continue scanning and importing new NZB's from the MONITOR folder even when the scheduler has SABNZBD paused.

Thanks for your time folks!

That's what action 'pause all' is designed to do. Check the context specific help for the differences between that and 'pause'.
