Setting up to autostart daemon in Ubuntu

Post by malocite »

Hey guys,

I've installed sabnzbd from the deb (http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/install-ubuntu-repo)  and I cannot figure out how to install this as a daemon.  I have read the wiki (http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/install-as-a-unix-daemon) but it is asking me to run SABnzbd.py but I cannot find where this file is. 

Does anyone know where that file gets installed when you use the DEB?

I think if I could find that I could follow the rest of the instructions and get it working.  (The program works, it just doesn't auto start because I can't figure out how to run that .PY thing.)

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

An init script is part of the package, no need to create a separate one. Option 2 in the opening post of this topic describes how to use it. In short: fill out a valid user in /etc/default/sabnzbdplus.
