SABnzbd Forums

Hi everyone,

I have a slight problem, I want to have my nas download all nzb's that I give it once a day but the folder scan speed cannot be set higher than 3600 seconds. Now it's keeping my nas awake for no reason at all (the nzb's are only placed in the folder once a day).
Can anyone advise on how to fix this?

Thanks,
activ

So to be more complete in what I want to achieve:
Sabnzbd should check all rss feeds, bookmarks and the folder once a day and then download what it finds from that.

I can get close to that behavior if I disable folder scanning and make the other intervals 1440 but I need folder scanning at the moment.

I've thought about the pause_all schedule command but that will prevent the downloads from being finished and would also lead to unneaded awake time if there are no nzb's to do on that day.

Possible solutions I can think of:
1. Be able to set folder scan to 1440 minutes
2. Have a pause _all_except_downloading command
3. Have an option to disable all scanning and then have some sort of trigger you can do (scheduled of via script or something)
4. Be able to set a master check time, where you can set a time of day that everything is checked, this would be instead of the scanning.

Will be addressed in 0.6.0.
Probably a possibility to set the scan interval to 0 (off) and a folder-scan in the scheduler.

Great, thanks!

Hi,

will it be possible to increase the limit up to, say, 24 hours in an upcoming release?

thanks!

Just schedule a pause_all event in the Scheduler.
This shouls top all disk activity until you manually unpause or have a resume event.

Thanks for the reply shypike.

But I would still like to automatically scan that folder, only much less often than once per hour.

Oh, right.
In that case schedule a folder scan.
Since currently events are once per day only, you'll need to set a number of them.
In principle 24, but I assume nightly scans are not needed.
We'll improve the scheduler in a later release.

That will do for now, thanks!
