Alpha3 daemon Ubuntu 14.04 (Start at boot)

I'm running Sabnzbd 0.8.0 from github source on Ubuntu 14.04.

Forgive my total newbness but I havent been able to figure out how to have Sabnzbd boot at startup.

The github page for Sabnzbd says:
if you want to run in the background:

Code: Select all

python -d -f /path/to/sabnzbd.ini
I have tried this command from the terminal but it returns the following:
Unknown option: -f


I'd appreciate any help getting this version to startup at boot.

Thanks!

The best method is to install the 0.7.20 package.
From there you can find out how SABnzbd is started.
You can ask further questions in the Ubuntu topic on this forum.

You can run at startup via crontab.

Code: Select all

sudo crontab -e
Then add the following to the bottom of the file, save changes and exit.

Code: Select all

@reboot python /path/to/SABnzbd.py -d -f /path/to/sabnzbd.ini &
Restart your system to test.
