i'm looking to write a prequeue script for sabnzbd and i'm a little unsure of how to do something as i'm fairly new to linux in general.

 

i thought i'd ask here as well as on the sab forum as there may be something peculiar to unraid that i should be aware of.

 

I'm looking to have movies that are 2012 and later assigned a higher priority in my sab queue and looking to do it automatically.

 

the bit i need help with is how to do the

 

if (name of movie contains 2012 or 2013) bit of the script. any linux gurus here that can help ?

never used their prescripts but take a look here:

http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/user-pre-queue-script

 

looks like it passes 11 parameters as variable. these variables should be assigned numerically as such: $1, $2, $3, etc. it doesnt look like any of the parameters passed to the script show the year of the movie. so what i would do is this:

first, check to make sure it is a movie by the category. then if it if, use a regex to find the date based on the name of the file. if you arent familiar with regex, you can do a little digging. im sure it would be easy enough to find the regular expression you want instead of making one yourself since a number of programs like sickbeard, xbmc, and sabnzbd all use a regex specific to scene release naming. then if the date is equal of grater to 2012, change the category.

got it working with some heavy googling and trial and error.

 

#!/usr/bin/env bash

 

 

curyear=`date +%Y`

lastyear=$((`date +%Y` -1))

testyear=($lastyear,$curyear)

 

 

if [[ $1 == *$testyear* ]]

then

case $3 in

      *movie*)

        priority="1"

        ;;

*)

        priority="$5"

        ;;

  esac

else

  priority="$5"

fi

 

 

 

echo "1"   

echo $1   

echo $2   

echo $3   

echo $4

echo "$priority"

echo $6

echo $7
