SABnzbd Forums

I used to have sabnzbd start paused in the advanced settings. I recently changed it back to normal and it still starts paused. I even checked the ini to make sure the setting got saved and it did yet it still starts paused. Did I overlook something?

Scheduled pauses may still make it paused.
Also, there's a command line option -p that causes a paused start too.

It was the scheduler that was causing the problem. But it was set to pause at 8am. I usually turn it on around 5pm. Is that expected behavior? I'm guessing it is meant to be on 24/7 so since it missed 8am it does it whenever it comes on.

I'm not sure I follow your reasoning.
In any case, at startup it is evaluated what the status would have been.
So when you set a pause at 5 am, any start between 5am and 12pm will start SABnzbd in paused mode.
