SABnzbd Forums

I've switched from 0.5.1 to 0.5.3 and from glancing through this forum I am now bitten by an improvement that to me is not an improvement.
I used to set SABNZBd to "shutdown pc" at the end of the queue. And it did. But it would reset itself to "nothing" on the next boot. Perfect.
Now however, when I enter one small item to be downloaded, on completion of it, SABNZBd starts to shutdown my pc - which is not what I want as I might be busy with burning a DVD or something.

I think the queue-completion choice must be a one-off, not remembered. And if this "improvement" needs to stay on, how can I write a script that on startup resets the option to "do nothing"? I haven't quite figured out how scripts work yet.

Or instead of writing a script, perhaps the queue completion list can be extended by one item:"
- shutdown on completion  always
- shutdown on completion this time only

That would satisfy all. And the old/removed code for the initial behaviour might be re-activated. ;-)

It probably makes the most sense not to make shutdown and standby persistent at all.
Persistence is probably only useful for an end-of-queue script.
