SABnzbd Forums

I have a fairly custom setup for sabnzbd and the files it downloads. With this setup I have the need to force sabnzbd to automatically repair the queue and add jobs back to the queue. Is there a way to automate this or a setting?

background (maybe there is an easier way). Basically my downloads and incomplete folders reside on a ram drive. When I shutdown the system a script moves the incomplete folder to storage, and when the system starts back up it moves it back to the ram drive where sabnzbd is setup for. I then manually have to open sabnzbd and do a queue repair to get things moving again. Looking for a better way.

Thanks!

A queue repair? So not retry a job in History?

I see nothing in the SABnzbd API documentation to do this. Oh, wait: maybe via "api?mode=FUNCTION" ... fill out "repair" ... ?

And/or: If you're a programmer, you can consider Selenium to automate your current manual SAB-WebGUI. Combine with Selenium Chrome Extension to do a screen recording.

On startup you can supply a repair parameter to the script, you could run that by default?

Thanks for the suggestions. I was actually able to modify my move script and utilize rsync instead and it seems to work better . It is able to preserve attribute and permissions which seems like where sabnzbd was getting hung up with the file moves before and needing queue repair. I'll run with this for awhile to see if any other issues arise.

Thank you for the replies!
