SABnzbd Forums

I am running on mac os x and am wondering if there is a way I can run sabnzbd not as an application but just a normal website that would be accessible while all users are logged out?

Thanks.

when all users are logged out , sabnzbd+ is still running
It runs in the background

... AFAIK only if sabnzbd is started as service, not if it's started from the commandline ...

@Sander  :
I thought that sabnzbd+ was always running , even when you are not logged in into the webui
IS the OSX version so much different from linux & windows ?

Windows will terminate SABnzbd when you logout.
Unless you run it as a service or as a scheduled task (with some special settings).
On Linux you need to run it as a init.d job.

any suggestions for keeping SABnzbd persistent on mac?

On my Linux, I use the SABnzbd source version, which I start from the command line. And, yes, it will stop when I logout (which I rarely do).

I don't use the sabnzbdplus from the repository (which I could run as a service), as it's often not as new as the source version, I find it more difficult to setup and I don't care too much about running SAB as a service.

I must confess I do use sabnzbdplus for one purpose: installing sabnzbdplus will take care of installing all the needed dependencies for SABnzbd source version. ;-)
