I'm starting SABnzbd+ from rc.d and am having a problem unraring and am having problems getting newsunpack to unrar my downloads.

I get the following every time. I had some problems at first because python was not in the path at rc.d startup, but I fixed that problem.. I'm now having the problem that I can't seem to unrar the contents. I noticed there is a RAR_COMMAND option that can be set but I couldn't find any documentation to explain what I should put there.

History through the web console gives me the following

Code: Select all

Stage Unrar
    [RAR-INFO]yyyyyyy: => At least one file failed to be unpacked, skipping

The sabnzbd.log gives me the following:

Code: Select all

It doesnt look like unrar is installed on your system

I'm quite sure I do have unrar on the system as that is what I use to unrar files manually...

I did manually set the RAR_COMMAND by setting that variable in the newsunpack.py file. I had set it to "/bin/unrar e"

su-2.05b# which unrar
/bin/unrar

unrar has to be found on the $PATH in the session you use to start SABnzbd.
Do you start SABnzbd in the same circumstances as you do the check with which?
Check the logging at startup, does it say something like "unrar found"?

I suspect that the nice command is missing.

Either that or the nice command is incapable of finding /bin/unrar.

Can I disable nice by making NICE_COMMAND = "" ?

I made a symlink from /usr/local/bin/nice to /bin/nice

which nice returns /bin/nice now...

The simlink should be OK.

And all seems to be working now that I made that symlink... Thanks!
