Scheduling

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
