$ /opt/bin/transmission-remote -V Transmission 1.75 (9117) 

I will work on it this afternoon…..
I want to keep it backward-compatible too….

 ID Done Have ETA Up Down Ratio Status Name 1 100% 5.0 GB Unknown 0.0 0.0 0.10 Idle *************** 2 100% 232.1 MB Unknown 0.0 0.0 0.85 Idle ********************* 3 100% 350.4 MB 1 days 2.0 0.0 0.80 Seeding ********************* 4 100% 350.0 MB Unknown 0.0 0.0 0.60 Idle ******************** 5 100% 175.0 MB Unknown 0.0 0.0 0.20 Idle ********** 

Mine all say Unknown except those that are actually downloading or Seeding…..

They don't seem to be using Done anymore, it's now Idle…

I'm running 1.75 and "Done" is still in that line if a torrent is fully downloaded….

 # transmission-remote -l ID Done Have ETA Up Down Ratio Status Name 1 100% 3.5 GB Done 0.0 0.0 0.71 Idle *************** **** 2 100% 4.3 GB Done 100.0 0.0 1.35 Seeding ********** **** **** *** Sum: 7.8 GB 100.0 0.0 

That's exactly what I mean, along with every other torrent I have downloaded since updating.

and, what i meant was, a command line switch that would allow you to run the whole script manually no matter how long it's been (which I already went and added to mine) I was getting tired of waiting for just the right moment every 5 minutes, so I could see the entire output (most of that never goes to the log)

Edit: I wonder if it has anything to do with this…..
cat "${REMOUTPUT}" | grep "100%" | grep "Done " | cut -b${namepos}- >$FTEMP
They don't seem to be using Done anymore, it's now Idle… I guess, and Seeding, etc. I decided to check the /tmp/trans_watchdog.output file, and that's when I noticed none of them say Done… I'm not even sure how the one I posted as an example ever even got that far…

Edit2: I changed the Line to
cat "${REMOUTPUT}" | grep "100%" | grep "Unknown " | cut -b${namepos}- >$FTEMP
using Unknown so it wouldn't stop files that are still seeding, and, it seems to have gone back to working.
using unknown may not be the best way to keep it from interrupting files that are seeding at that moment (since some could still say unknown) but, getting rid of Done fixed the problem, since newer versions of transmission don't seem to use Done anymore.

Adding Grep -v "Seeding " could be a good way to stop only torrents that aren't currently seeding…. just a thought :)

Edit: I know something that needs to be added, a command line switch to bypass the part that only runs the whole thing every so many minutes….

Not really…
The script should be run every minute so it doesn't take too long before a torrent is added from the watchfolder. To keep the Worldbook from stressing it will abort the script after monitoring the watchfolder and will continue only every 5 minutes….

It seems you have not installed "SendEmail"
It's a perl-script which should be in your PATH to work. Nothing trivial though. It just informs you a torrent is finished.

The log seems to be normal. Do you mean this torrent (#31) didn't move to /shares/internal/NEW ?

 Sep 30 14:20:24 MediaServe user.notice transmission: Pausing torrent #31 (*****) so it can be moved Sep 30 14:20:25 MediaServe user.notice transmission: Created a symbolic link in /shares/internal/JUNK/Torrent_Temp to: /shares/internal/NEW/***** Sep 30 14:20:25 MediaServe user.notice transmission: Sending eMail using sendEmail Sep 30 14:20:25 MediaServe user.notice transmission: The perl script "sendEmail" can not be found, you need to install it Sep 30 14:20:25 MediaServe user.notice transmission: Unpausing torrent #31 (*****) 

So, it is trying to send me an email about the problem, instead of just outputting it to the log…..

It's also not writing the log files for the files…..

I'll see if I can add some log output there and see what it says.

Some of the torrents don't even show where an attempt was made at all to pause them….

Edit: I know something that needs to be added, a command line switch to bypass the part that only runs the whole thing every so many minutes….

DOWNLOADING=`${TW_TRANSREMOTE} -l 2>${ERROROUTPUT} | grep -vi "Idle" | grep -vi "Done" | grep -v "ETA " | egrep -v "^Sum:" | wc -l`

actually, to be more accurate, it should be changed to

DOWNLOADING=`${TW_TRANSREMOTE} -l 2>${ERROROUTPUT} | grep -vi "Seeding" | grep -vi "Idle" | grep -vi "Done" | grep -v "ETA " | egrep -v "^Sum:" | wc -l`

but, I think we had this conversation before :)

I tried before updating to the latest trans_watchdog (everything was working fine until I updated Transmission) and, also, after updating to the latest version of the script…

Two things:
1) senEmail did not work.
1A)
What do you have in the config the "MAIL_TO" or "MAILTO"?
I have "MAIL_TO" but the mailfrom is "MAILFROM". Maybe this is the problem.

1A) Do you have an example to run sendEmail from command prompt and try if it works alone?

2) I fihured out the root of the crashes that happend in each 5-min. It was the following line:

"rpc-authentication-required": false,

If it is true, then it crashes all the time after 5mins.

- in the /var/log/messages the trans_watchdog runs in each minute
- My vi /opt/etc/trans_watchdog.exude is empty.

If I run the trans_watchdog:

[root@MyBookWorld Transmission]# ./trans_watchdog
[root@MyBookWorld Transmission]#

Then I started the Transmission (1.72) and waited. I experienced the same problem that I had with the 1.61 when I took
trans_watchdog in the crontab. For some reason the Transmission starts and after 30sec-1min couple of minutes it just restarts and after
I lose the connection with my Transmisison using the Transmission-Remote all the time. Couple of sec later I am able to connect again
but it start to check the torrent and stick at some %. Than lose connection… Then stucks at rechecking…
If i do not run the trans_watchdog it runs without any problem.

I think we have the problem still at the variables configuration but not sure…

My info:
-trans_watchdog location: "Public\WWW\Welcome\Transmission\trans_watchdog",
-cronjob line: "*/1 * * * * /shares/Public/WWW/Welcome/Transmission/trans_watchdog" in "/opt/var/cron/crontabs/root",

My variables:
SOURCE=/shares/Public/WWW/Qtorrent/Watchtorrent
WORK=/shares/Public/WWW/Qtorrent/Downloading
TARGET=/shares/Public/WWW/Qtorrent/Downloaded
MAILTO=moc.liamg|XXX#moc.liamg|XXX
MAILFROM=moc.liamg|XXX#moc.liamg|XXX
MAILSERVER="smtp.gmail.com"

Just to make it sure the trans_watchdog does the following:
1) creates the trans_watchdog.config and trans_watchdog.exlude files with all the necessary variables info
2) looks for and adds new torrents in the $SOURCE directory
3) depending on the presettings (occupancy of samba, workday/weekend schedules , cpulevel) it tracks/adjusts the downloads in $WORK directory
4) If a downloaded torrent contains multirar files it unrars them and delete the rars files.
5) moves the downloaded files to $TARGETdirectory and send email from the successful download
6) Removing obsolete symbolic links
+ stops transmission every 3 hours when it isn't handling anything

General questions about the trans_watchdog:
0) Does the script try to start transmission if it is not running?

1) Do I have to change the "www-data" to something?:

SMB_USER=www-data
DATAUSER=www-data
DATAGROUP=www-data

2) Changing the workday/weekend schedule:

If I want to change the schedule I have to change only the 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 in the variables, rights?

What do you need from me to proceed?

inetutils - 1.5-5 - A set of common daemons and clients found on commercial UNIX systems.

You shouldn't need this after ‘ipkg update`,`ipkg upgrade`

I only have this worldbook 2 days, so it's obviously an issue now.

Optware's ftp-client doesn't work without it…

 [root@mybook2 ~]# rm /opt/lib/libreadline.so.5 [root@mybook2 ~]# ftp ftp: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [root@mybook2 ~]# ln -s libreadline.so.6 /opt/lib/libreadline.so.5 [root@mybook2 ~]# ftp ftp> bye [root@mybook2 ~]# 

It's probably this package:

 ipkg list_installed | grep readline readline - 6.0-1 - The GNU Readline library provides a set of functions for use by applications that allow users to edit command lines as they are 

 # patch for a missing library ln -s libreadline.so.6 /opt/lib/libreadline.so.5 2>/dev/null 

Edit: I added an extra check when optware installation fails and the removal of /opt/etc/ipkg/armel-feed.conf if it still goes wrong…
Otherwise this script doesn't try to install optware if it partly fails…..

Edited again I wanted a bash that doesn't depend on optware in /bin

Unlike the bluering it doesn't have /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash but to busybox.
Even when you have installed optware and have /opt/bin as first in your path it still uses the busybox for commands that are hashed.
I wasn't aware of this, but I now have found a remedy.

I wrote a script to take care of a lot of issues with the whitelight and it's a breeze to install it

 wget -O prep_whitelight http://wd.mirmana.com/prep_whitelight sh prep_whitelight 

After running this script you should be able to run my watchdog and other advanced bash-scripts.

It will also take care of a permission of the directory /root which prevents it from using a private/public key and it will create a directory structure to be used for cron.

maybe that was the problem

i have auth in transmission…

As I said…
It even runs on a DD-WRT router (Asus WL-500G Deluxe) with a USB-harddisk attached….
I have no idea why your system behaves this way….

It can also be related to "top"

It has something to do with "procps"… Did you install it?

is it ok that it runs in each minute?

PS: Thanks for your help…

If you need something to test in the White version, just let me know.
I have only a 100Mbit router, and the speed is 10-11 MB/s if the laptop is directly connected to the router
i think it can handle more, this speed is the max on that 100mb…

Let's fix your box…
Just copy/paste the following code and you have at least fixed grep….

 mv /bin/grep /bin/grep-busy mv /bin/egrep /bin/egrep-busy mv /bin/fgrep /bin/fgrep-busy ln -s /opt/bin/grep-grep /bin/grep ln -s /opt/bin/grep-egrep /bin/egrep ln -s /opt/bin/grep-fgrep /bin/fgrep /bin/grep -o SCRIPTVER /shares/Public/WWW/Welcome/Transmission/trans_watchdog_ok 

/bin/grep -o SCRIPTVER /shares/Public/WWW/Welcome/Transmission/trans_watchdog_ok
/bin/grep: invalid option — o
BusyBox v1.1.1 (2008.11.20-08:20+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: grep [-ihHnqvsEABC] PATTERN [FILEs…]

2) After running the other one:

1. /opt/bin/grep -o SCRIPTVER /shares/Public/WWW/Welcome/Transmission/trans_watchdog_ok

SCRIPTVER

3)

1. ls -altr /bin/*grep*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 1 1970 /bin/grep -> busybox
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 1 1970 /bin/egrep -> busybox
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 1 1970 /bin/fgrep -> busybox

1. ls -altr /opt/bin/*grep*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 100396 Mar 26 07:17 /opt/bin/grep-grep
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43292 Mar 26 07:17 /opt/bin/grep-fgrep

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 3 20:36 /opt/bin/fgrep -> /opt/bin/grep-fgrep

4) I upgraded the original firmware and then I applied that featurepack: [http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-149988/featurepacks-manager-for-the-whitelight-available]

I think I can fix it for you….
But first you have to issue these 2 commands and post the results….
I will then tell you what to do.

 ls -altr /bin/*grep* ls -altr /opt/bin/*grep* 

 # ls -altr /bin/*grep* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jan 1 1970 /bin/zfgrep -> zgrep lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jan 1 1970 /bin/zegrep -> zgrep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Jan 18 2008 /bin/fgrep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Jan 18 2008 /bin/egrep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2940 Jan 18 2008 /bin/zgrep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 71344 Jan 18 2008 /bin/grep [root@mybook ~]# ls -altr /opt/bin/*grep* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 154811 May 14 13:44 /opt/bin/msggrep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 104332 May 14 14:02 /opt/bin/grep-grep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46916 May 14 14:02 /opt/bin/grep-fgrep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 100220 May 14 14:02 /opt/bin/grep-egrep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1390 May 14 14:11 /opt/bin/zgrep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26968 May 14 16:32 /opt/bin/pcregrep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14800 May 14 17:00 /opt/bin/pgrep -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1188 May 14 20:15 /opt/bin/zipgrep lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 3 20:20 /opt/bin/grep -> /opt/bin/grep-grep lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 3 20:20 /opt/bin/egrep -> /opt/bin/grep-egrep lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 3 20:20 /opt/bin/fgrep -> /opt/bin/grep-fgrep 

which one should I install? Maybe this is the problem, isn't it?

no, no… don't think so

Let's first focus on "grep".
This should work…. check if /opt/bin/grep does the job.

Do you have the special feed for white light installed for your optware?

Please.. Other white light users…
Please report if "grep -o" is working on yours…
This is quite a normal option and even my superlightweight DD-WRT router supports it.
Only my dreambox (satellite receiver) doesn't support it and comes with a similar message….

If you want to replace busybox, just install the first one….
Beware that it will only execute it if it's first in the path.
In my script the $PATH is set that way.

You mentioned that the busybox is needed from OPTWARE to have the watchdog run properly.

I havent installed it yet. In the optware list I have three busybox option:

busybox - 1.10.3-1 - A userland replacement for embedded systems.
busybox-base - 1.10.3-1 - A userland replacement for embedded systems.
busybox-links - 1.10.3-1 - A userland replacement for embedded systems.

which one should I install? Maybe this is the problem, isn't it?

BTW….
If you want to test your optware's grep, you should use the command

 # /bin/grep -o SCRIPTVER /usr/bin/trans_watchdog SCRIPTVER [root@mybook ~]# /opt/bin/grep -o SCRIPTVER /usr/bin/trans_watchdog SCRIPTVER 

"grep -o" is quite a normal option for grep….

grep SCRIPTVER /shares/Public/WWW/Welcome/Transmission/trans_watchdog_ok
SCRIPTVER="Wed Jun 3 11:22:18 CEST 2009"

2) /opt/etc/trans_watchdog_ok.conf is deleted, should i delete the "trans_watchdog_ok.conf.exclude" as well?

3) after "grep -o":

grep -o
grep: invalid option — o
BusyBox v1.1.1 (2008.11.20-08:20+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: grep [-ihHnqvsEABC] PATTERN [FILEs…]

grep -o SCRIPTVER /shares/Public/WWW/Welcome/Transmission/trans_watchdog_ok
grep: invalid option — o
BusyBox v1.1.1 (2008.11.20-08:20+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: grep [-ihHnqvsEABC] PATTERN [FILEs…]

 grep SCRIPTVER /usr/bin/trans_watchdog SCRIPTVER="Wed Jun 3 11:22:18 CEST 2009" grep -o SCRIPTVER /usr/bin/trans_watchdog SCRIPTVER 

 grep SCRIPTVER /shares/Public/WWW/Welcome/Transmission/trans_watchdog_ok 

BTW…
What happens if you just enter the command "grep -o" from the prompt

After run ./trans_watchdog_ok in telnet in the wordlbook i still have the same problem…

In the optware list I have three busybox option:

busybox - 1.10.3-1 - A userland replacement for embedded systems.
busybox-base - 1.10.3-1 - A userland replacement for embedded systems.
busybox-links - 1.10.3-1 - A userland replacement for embedded systems.

Which busybox should i install?

Q1: I found the .config file but it is empty. Is it ok?

No, that's not OK

Q4: I run it and received the following error:

Are you running this on a worldbook? Do you have busybox installed from optware?
Run the command:

 which egrep 

 ipkg install grep 

Q1: I found the .config file but it is empty. Is it ok?
Q2: I did it.
Q3: OK. Now, I can check it.
Q4: I run it and received the following error:

quoted text /shares/Public/WWW/Welcome/Transmission # ./trans_watchdog_ok
egrep: invalid option — o
BusyBox v1.1.1 (2008.11.20-08:20+0000) multi-call binary

Do I have ti install something or the error is in the script?

Q5: :) How can I restart cron? I do not have any /etc/init.d/crond.sh so can not run

/etc/init.d/crond.sh stop
/etc/init.d/crond.sh start

thanks in advance

You can change the variables there….
This also means you can just overwrite trans_watchog with a newer one you download from my site.
Why did you change its name, btw?

Question 2:
You should create a symbolic link called /opt/etc/init.d/K10transmission

 cd /opt/etc/init.d ln -s S90transmission K10transmission 

Question 3:
A log is made in /var/log/messages

Question 4:
Yes, new to Linux…. A common mistake. Unlike Windows, a command will not start just because you are in its directory. It must be in its path or you should provide the full path. In your case you should give the command

 ./trans_watchdog_ok 

I have installed these from OPTWARE:

1. coreutils
2. findutils
3. procps
4. util-linux-ng

I put the watch_dog to: "Public\WWW\Welcome\Transmission\trans_watchdog_ok"
added the right to it: chmod +x trans_watchdog_ok
and put it to 1-min cronjob: "01 * * * * /shares/Public/WWW/Welcome/Transmission/trans_watchdog_ok"
in "/opt/var/cron/crontabs", using "nano root" command

Changed the variables:
SOURCE=/shares/Public/WWW/Watch-dir
WORK=/shares/Public/WWW/TR-Downloads
TARGET=/shares/Public/WWW/Downloaded
MAILTO=moc.liamg|XXX#moc.liamg|XXX
MAILFROM=moc.liamg|XXX#moc.liamg|XXX
MAILSERVER="smtp.gmail.com"

Questions:
1) Do I have to change anything else in the trans_watchdog_ok?
2) TRANSSTOP=/opt/etc/init.d/K10transmission is missing —-> I have K90transmission. Should I just rename K10transmission to K90transmission?
3) Where can I find the error log?
4) When I wanted to run the "/shares/Public/WWW/Welcome/Transmission # trans_watchdog_ok", I received this: "-sh: trans_watchdog_ok: not found"
How can I run it from the telnet command line if i want to test it alone?

Thanks in advance.

I did see a torrent just now that was paused….
Maybe the latest transmission doesn't like it when the file is moved and a symbolic link is placed instead.
Not a problem really as I can add code for that…..

regarding the speed of the new white one:
I did not have the older, blue version, but I have read a lot review and forum about it
before i made my purchase. Each of these reviews said that the new, white version is a BIG improve over the older blue one.
this was the reason to go for the white WD version…

Some of them:

hope it helps

Just one question:
How can I easiest test my white WD perf speed using NFS and CIFS?
I want to test their speed independently…

thanks in advance

I have been messing around with transmission 1.61 lately, but it seems that some features don't quite work - neither the watch folder, nor the scheduling (though it is parametered correctly). The seeding ratio, seems to be working, however, I would prefer the completed file to be moved out of the directory, nevertheless. I have been experimenting with M. Kyykhinen's torrent_helper script before, but that did not quite work, either (no idea, why exactly, on one hand, it tended to crash the daemon, on the other, the scheduler did not work).
I was interested in having a scheduler, something that stops and moves the torrents out of the download directory once they reach a certain seeding ratio, a watch folder (I added a little directory for the torrents added in the past as well, so once it starts dowloading a torrent, instead of deleting the file, it moves it over to another directory). As I wasted a lot of time already with this, I was going to ask you how long this was going to take me (need to learn how to use cron as well, though I can do that on my own, I just don't know how long that'll be), and whether your script works OK with version 1.61.

Thanks and good job,
blackjancsi

Just try it and let me know if something is not running as it should….

I'm in the market for a white light myself.
Can you notice it's faster than a bluering?
Do you know of any alternatives?

I have the new, white light version of the WD NAS. Does your trans_watchdog work on it?
Thanks in advance.
