August 1, 20178 yr I am trying user scripts to shutdown my server at night. Would these lines work? #!/bin/bash powerdown | at 01:30 Should the powerdown plugin be installed, or is this functionality now included in unraid 6.3.5?

Or simply #!/bin/bash powerdown And set the schedule to run when you want.
August 16, 20178 yr Is there any reason the delete.ds_store script wouldn't actually delete all the .ds_store files? Tried it last night after Fix Common Problems found a bunch of duplicate .ds_store files spanning pretty much all of my shares. I disabled the creation of .ds_store files on my Macs, ran the user script, then ran the Fix Common Problems extended test again. Still had many, many dupes. So I went through and manually deleted them. Just curious if I did something wrong, or that script perhaps needs an update. Thanks!

I don't really support the scripts (even the default included). They're just samples

August 22, 20178 yr When running a user script manually, does it run as a different user versus being run via a schedule?

August 22, 20178 yr Hmm, that's what I thought but I seem to get different results depending on how the script is initiated.

August 22, 20178 yr I had a script that ran the rc.unassigned script from the unassigned drivers plugin. The path to is something like /usr/local/plugins. This works fine if I manually kick the script off but fails when the script runs via a schedule, it claims the path doesn't exist.
August 22, 20178 yr Author Shouldn't make any difference. But, you have to bear in mind that all paths anywhere in a script should be absolute, and not relative. That, and IIRC (would have to double check after work), but the scripts have slightly different /tmp folders that they execute from depending upon how its started.
August 22, 20178 yr I am using the vm backup script, is there anyway to schedule what time it runs? I don't see any option to schedule a time for it? Also is there any option to delete older backups? thanks

That, (and any script) run through User Scripts can be scheduled via the Schedule setting next to the script.

August 30, 20178 yr I have been having an issue where I use rsync, via User Scripts, to perform backups to a remote server and that would make the webGUI unresponsive until the task was completed. Strange thing is I can run the rsync task via shell and I do not have any issues not being able to use the webGUI. Any idea why this is occurring?
