SABnzbd Forums

Hi

I have a requirement to auto update my usenet servers info (the info in 'Config->Servers' tab).
Specifically, i want to change the username & password for a server.

So i made an app which runs on my sabnzbd box to do the following:
* search for sabnzbd process.
* close sabnzbd process.
* Modify sabnzbd config file, to new server info.
* start new sabnzbd process.

This works fine, but is not the greatest of solutions.
I was wondering if there is a way to do this via api?
I dont see it mentioned here anywhere: http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/api
Would this be a reasonable feature request?
If such a feature was implimented would it pose a security risk (eg, anything/anyone that i give my api key to could potentially change my server info, to connect to their own server of malicious design?).

No biggie, as for my purposes i can keep doing it the ugly way i am, but thought i'd throw the request out there in hopes that it is one day implemented.

edit - well i just noticed that instead of closing sabnzb process i should be using something like http://host:port/sabnzbd/shutdown
That should ensure a correct shutdown.

edit2 - Resolution: "mode=set_config&section=servers&name=SERVERNAME&username=SERVERUSERNAME&password=SERVERPASSWORD"


Cheers.

The code is already there, it's just the Wiki page that's not up to date.
We are working on that.

Thanks for the reply.
Good to hear this is possible, Ill have at sources then.

edit - ok i have had a look at source & found the following api command will do what i require:
mode=set_config&section=servers&name=SERVERNAME&username=SERVERUSERNAME&password=SERVERPASSWORD

Cheers.
