SABnzbd Forums

hi i just updated to 0.4.0b2 and i am now unable to shutdown sabnzbd and i know this is only a beta that has bugs and you don't offer support but i am unable to shut this down?

Hi there, we do offer support for our beta releases but please do it in the "Beta Releases" forum, I have moved this topic to there.

Please can you be more specific. What operating system are you using? What browser are you using? When clicking shutdown, what gets shown?

For reference when clicking shutdown it should prompt you on whether to shutdown, pressing ok will then show this on the page: At what part does it not work?
Does http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ still work after you have attempted a shutdown?
Try pausing the queue and waiting 10 seconds before shutting down, does that help?
What version (if any) of sabnzbd did you use before you installed beta2?

ooh sorry for posting in the wrong section and also i thought you didn't give support

right i'll try to answer all your questions..


linux (FC4)

firefox 2.x

and when i click shutdown it just says "Initiating shutdown..." and the page is still loading but nothing happens

yes sabnzbd still works after i try to shut it down and i've got nothing in the queue

also i had 0.4.x from the svn before this and that was updated from 0.34 (0.34>0.4x>0.40b3)


thanks for the quick reply hope i answered everything

Looks like SABnzbd shut down fine, but it launched again immediately after. Not as in a few seconds later, immediately. You don't have any weird setup at all do you? How are you launching SABnzbd, just through the terminal or in a different manner

I'll look into this more tomorrow, as I'm finished for today.

in a terminal with

This happened to me too (also Linux).

Fixed it by using the -c switch to clean out the wotsits.

ok i get ya now but that doesn't help with sabnzbd not shutting down..

If you are just wanting to get sabnzbd to be shutdown this once, try killing the process with "kill"
Not sure how to get a list of running processes, google suggests: "ps -ax |more" or "ps -aux |more"

Yes it does.

Or it did for me. I couldn't get SAB to shut down, so I rebooted the machine, ran with the -c option and now SAB shuts down properly.
