SABnzbd Forums

Hi. i have managed to install and setup sab using this guide http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/install-ubuntu-repo but for some reason. whenever i boot my ubuntu server, sab doesnt start automatically. it only starts once i login via ssh into my server and type sabnzbplus to start it.

if i dont do this, i cant access the ui for sab and so get the impressions sab cant be started automatically. also. if i do start it via ssh, when i close/terminate my connection to my server by closing down putty, SAB seems to shut itself down as well

* make sure you start it as a deamon.
* With an init.d scriptyou can make it to start at boot

Isn't that included ?

how do u start it as daemon?  there is a sabnzb ini file localed in /etc/default/sabnzbdplus

edit: i tried editing the ini file using  vi /etc/default/sabnzbdplus and everytime i try to save the file by typing ZZ i get the following error below:


E45: 'readonly' option is set (add ! to override)

You forgot to use the force. Try with sudo in front of the vi command.

cool ok i got it working but it doesnt start at boot time. there does not seem to be any options under the etc/init.d/sabnzbplus file to specify it to be started automatically at boot time
