Try the buttons on the user scripts page... if you installed using my packages.

I installed using the python tutorial I did install the buttons though they suggested. no work though. I can't even quit SAB from within which is weird.

 

Also, my cache disk (size 250GB) says it has 180GB left.. even though I'm moving files constantly to my data disk. What can I do to stop this? I can't clear it because the cache disk goes crazy folders wise (there are two download folders and they both constantly update/move...). It seems to be copying the files to /mnt/users/media rather than deleting.

If SAB won't stop then you can find the pid via a ps -ef and then fill "kill PID".

Right it will copy it there, but you have to deselect the setting in SickBeards Config -> Post processing section to "Keep Original Files"

Thankyou for the post processing.

 

Your kill instructions are foreign to me though!

 

BTW thanks, you've helped me the most by far on the forum!

Did your cache drive happen to switch to read-only due to a disk error? Check the syslog for cache disk problems. Mine did that recently and it messes with these applications very badly (they try to write settings as they exit and can't and then get all confused and won't exit).

 

Either way, you will likely have to find the process and kill it.

 

If the user script buttons do not work (in general, not just this one time) then you did something wrong creating them. Try opening the file in Midnight Commander (type mc at the command prompt) and clear out any funny characters like ^M at the ends of the lines. FYI, the user script button basically "presses" the shutdown button on the interface. If the interface won't work then that user script button won't either.

 

As for the files, you're probably keeping the originals. In other words, it's a setup problem and nothing to do with unRAID. You can go into the downloads directory and just clear it out any time SAB is idle.

You type ps -ef at the command prompt. It will will list processes. Find the SAB process and then type kill xxx where xxx is the process number listed to the left of the SAB process.

You have to telnet into the machine or do it from the command prompt.  if you type

ps -ef

you will see a list of running processes.  Form there you can find the SABnzb process and its process ID.  you can use that process ID and type

kill PROCESS_ID_GOES_HERE

It's all still fairly fresh in my mind.

I had the same problem with a previous build of CouchPotato. If a general kill command doesn't work use kill -9 [pid] to force it.

Damn... yeah its just not shutting down. I guess maybe the new build of sab might fix this.

Ive installed SAB onto my cache drive. It runs fine on startup.

 

However, after I've added 40-50 or so NZBs via API, SAB fails to be able to fetch the URL for anymore nzbs for the rest of the session. This is from ALL nzb sites, just just nzb matrix. It keeps saying "fetching from www.xxxx.com/xxxxx" but never changes.

 

On a restart, it resolves all the URLs and fetches the nzbs. The problem is, SAB will not restart. When I click restart, it just hangs. If I press shutdown, likewise it just hangs and the only way to shut it down is to kill the process. Can someone please shed some light on this for me.

^^ That better explains my problem.

 

The advise you guys gave did help. However, its terrible inconvienant to have to shutdown couch potato, SB and then have to log into telnet to kill SAB. Also, if I kill sab, the python command to run it does not work. It says no such file. The start script itself does not then work (i copied and pasted it from the python server tutorial). help please!

 

Also I see SAB 0.66 is out, maybe that might help. Any pointers on updating?

How would I fix this cache drive problem or find out if I have it? Sickbeard and CP from their interface shutdown nice and quickly. Its just SAB.

 

Its annoying because this setup is otherwise flawless and very user friendly.
