Slackware :: Process To Automatically Start Bittorrent Download?
Apr 26, 2010
this is not specifically a slackware related question, but since done on 2 slackware boxes... the situation is, i have one box for browsing and other desktop activities and another box acting as router/local server. what i want to achieve is that the router box would look on a nfs mounted folder for new *.torrent files (which i put there from the desktop box) and if there is a new file, it would start downloading it automatically. also a good thing would be if it would notify me when finished.so how would you go about itwhat torrent client would you use and so on? maybe someone has already done something like this?
what to do for lock automatically slackware 13 if not used for n minutes ?What can i do to start automatically the ktorrent (a bittorrent program for linux) on system starts on slackware 13 ?
I want to start process automatically For Ex:- To start snort it need the root user, So here I need a script which will start snort automatically without asking the root user or password.So that I can start snort from anywhere as same as root
set up BASH scripts on the server to automatically download and process data, and then upload it to my website. Is it even possible? Do servers allow website owners to place BASH scripts that can run automatically, or keep running indefinitely?
We are having a Linux box with Tcpdump continuously running on it to monitor bunch of sources. Separate Tcpdump process runs in a background for each host for monitoring traffic. I use -w option with it to save the capture in the pcap format to analyze it later. Now what I need is, if the Linux machine gets rebooted amidst of its packet capturing activity, I want tcpdump to automatically start the process again for every host without overwriting previous captures.
Remember: Without overwriting previous captures . . . Basically, I will be keeping all the tcpdump commands in the shell script and will load the script at startup during the linux boot. Is there any way to achieve this case, where by on rebooting, Tcpdump does not overwrite previous captures?
I am running Debian Squeeze with icewm as desktop environment. I am trying to start feh automatically when the desktop finishes loading. I have tried crontab -e with @reboot /usr/bin/feh /home/user/photos/ & I think that the best way to do this would be to monitor for the x-session-manag process. The reason I think this would be a good solution is that I killed x-session-manag and it killed my x-session and straight to command line interface.
i am using ubuntu 11.04 in my AMD machine, I have scheduled some torrent and wget downloads using crontab and sleep commands respectively. Since the download starts at 2 AM i used to leave my system ON. I would like to know if the download will automatically start from the login screen itself.(That is suppose i switch ON the system at 2 AM and never bother to login to my account.)
I have Slackware64 13.37 and I install NetworkManager from Slackbuilds. The only problem is that I have to run rc.networkmanager when I do startx to see the applet running. Isn't suppose to be automatic?
Where do I change the option to have samba start during the boot process? I've googled and I've found old posts that say it's a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 but in my semi-current box, I don't see the part about starting stopping the samba server.
I finally decided to give Ubuntu Karmic another chance after Jaunty->Karmic upgrades killed two laptops and a desktop. Fresh installs work better. Anyway, Along my usual post-install trawl through the available packages, a number of them stood out that I never really paid attention to before, and they've piqued my interests.
The three packages are: apt-p2p apt-transport-debtorrent debtorrent
If I understand them correctly, it's an alternate means to download packages through bittorrent instead of http transfers. What I want to know is, does it work? What sort of differences could be expected between bittorrent and http transfers when it's used?
Transmission bittorrent client on my computer doesn't seem to download any files...It just struks on 'downloading file'...When i checked out the preferences it says 'port closed', i'm using port no 18768....Torrents download fine with opera with the same port no...
I've a plan to make Bittorrent Colocation. It like web hosting, the different is customer are rent space for download bittorrent. Because internet bandwidth in my country is very slow. So it have multi-user on this server What bittorrent client I use?
I don't know what exactly I did to wreck the functionality but something did Deluge in. I've purged the configuration files and libraries and reinstalled them three times over and every time in terminal that I start it using deluge-gtk I get the following output:
Code:
ryan@ryan-PC-Ubuntu:~$ deluge-gtk Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/deluge-gtk", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('deluge==1.2.2', 'console_scripts', 'deluge-gtk')()
Im trying to run synergy on startup. This works fine on the client, but it wont start automatically on the server. I put this line in an entry in startup applications:
I'm trying to find how to schedule a process to start at a specific time (not on start up). How would I schedule a process/application to start at a specific time (if it matters, it will be a background process). For instance, have process abc start every weekday at 5am. I've done this for windows many times though have only been using linux regularly for a few months and haven't figured out the best way of doing this.
So far the best solution I have is to create a program that will start on boot and have it check the time and sleep until the required time and then start the required process(es) at the required time(s). But this seems more of a hack since I'd expect there to be a proper way of doing this.
I use Opensuse 11 with fvwm. How can I get conky start automatically when I start fvwm?
I setup the conky under fvwm session for my Opensuse 11 but it won't start automatically. I am wondering how to write some kind of scripts to force it to start automatically and with a delay about 10 seconds after fvwm starts.
When d1 finished downloading, I saw this in a window:
Code: [2010-05-24 16:12:45] -- BitTorrent started -- [2010-05-24 16:15:56] (global message) : Could not get latest version from [URL] [2010-05-24 17:57:09] "slackware-13.1-iso" : rejected by tracker - Your client's "key" paramater and the key we have for you in our database do not match.

I've been checking the bittorrent faq, user manual, and forum on the bittorrent site, but can't find an answer to this. I downloaded the torrents from the slackware torrent site.
i have around 15 zombiee process on my linux ubuntu server 9.10 and i am unable to login I get the system details after i login but the shell promot comes back to login prompt again.My postfix server also stops in between and i have to reboot the entire system.
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu version 10.10 64-bit and since then closing GEdit won't stop the process automatically when the window is closed and I have to kill it manually. I didn't have this problem with version 10.04 (also 64-bit) and I didn't change any settings after the upgrade.
There are two host agent process ( hprsmha -WD and RSMHA ) running on my SLES 10 server suddenly hangs which is critical for my daily scheduled backup jobs.I want to create a script which checks for the 2 process and restart it automatically.so i can put it to daily cron job.My knowledge with scripting is so poor. Following are the commands i am running manually to stop and start the process.
cd /etc/init.d ./hprmsha stop ./hprsmha_wd stop ./hprsmha_wd start ./hprsmha start
There are often times when the best way to launch an application is from the terminal, but it is a graphical application and after it is launched the terminal is useless.
Examples of places where a terminal is convenient are when a process starts lots of child processes and is also unstable; you can be sure to kill all of its children simply by using Ctrl-C at the terminal. Also it allows me to read program output and to set up the terminal environment to be optimal for the application (for example "unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT")
With GNU screen, I can get around the hassle of having a terminal window open by using something like the following in a terminal window:
Code: screen my_command Ctrl-A d
and then I can close the terminal and the program will keep running. Then I just type "screen -r <Tab>" (the tab will get me my screen session if there is only one such session) in any terminal window, even a tty, and I can get the screen session back and use Ctrl-c or something.
So my question is, is there a way to do this automatically so that a launcher or script will start a screen session, inside that screen session start a process, and then detach from that screen session without me having to manually open and close a terminal and type the commands?
When I run the updates option on it, it tells me that the virus engine is out of date. However, it does not automatically download it, nor does it suggest a site. Is there a way to get the program to automatically download updates? If not, can you direct me to a site that would have the updates?Also, if there is a more newbie-friendly or perhaps more reliable anti-virus program, could someone direct me to it?
I am using Rhythmbox 0.12.8 on Lucid 64-bit. In the "Your Downloads" window, it shows many of the tracks with "0MB downloaded" and one with "Queued", and doesn't really seem to be showing any progress.
addition 1: I completely shutdown RB, opened Ubuntu One from the MY Menu and placed a check mark in the "file synchronization" box. It seems to be working now. I had forgotten I turned off the file synchronization.
