hi Ruben00,

Thanks for this plug in... I installed it by when i try to ssh using putty to port 2222 as you have in your blog post, i get connect refused..

Any ideas?

I hoping to try to set up sickbeard and sabnzb+ and see if they work..

Hey Headstone,

make sure you install dropbear first

ipkg install dropbear

and if you want sftp, you also need sftp server after dropbear

ipkg install openssh-sftp-server

Well, Python26 works, but sabnzbdplus needs python25, but I didnt install that one.

thanks ruben, i thought that i had to ssh in to do the installs should have tried telnet first.

I installed dropbear, but when i try to log in as root it tells me the password is wrong (i have no password)

According to the website sabnzbplus supports python2.5.x 2.6.x or 2.7.x so it "should" work.

Just need to figure out how to get the files over

Fun times ahead...

Do the mod that I did to rooter to allow admin to login
Then login as admin, I think by default SSH blocks root

Actually, there is a zabnzbplus package in opt ware

ipkg list | grep "*nzb*"

You will see it on the list, I believe its called zabnzbplus actually

Install and configure, it should also take care of the dependencies like python
Don't forget to rebbot the NAS so the new LD libraries build and get cached

I have a feeling it will work since Transmission BT client worked and I believe that uses python

Let us know if it worked for you, and don't forget to disable all the default patriot plugins you are not using to save memory like MySql, etc

got sabnzb installed and seems to work, just need to figure out how to get it to auto run when the box starts up..

then need to see if sickbeard will work and run at the same time as right now if i run sabnzb from telnet you can't do anything else until you stop it...

Not a linux expert by any strech but will plug away at it and see what i can do..

[ruben00]

create a script in /opt/etc/init.d
call it S90sabnzbd
it will start on every boot when optware starts

The one i've found around the interwebz is this by "A.C Ryan"

#!/bin/sh
NAME=sabnzbd

case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting SABnzbd."
python2.5 /opt/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d
;;
stop)
echo "Shutting down SABnzbd. (api key must be disabled)"
/usr/bin/wget -q "http://localhost:8080 /sabnzbd/api?mode=shutdown"
;;
restart)
"$0" stop
"$0" start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac

exit 0

i added the file (modilifed from above to just start up the program, as the above requires a string sent to it to start it up) to the init.d directory and confirmed it worked before rebooting, but doesn't seem to start up on reboot.

Is there a log file that shows the boot process?

Seems this might be a doable thing if i can get the 2 python apps to start up and run and the same time..

I dont think you need to modify it, the Optware startup script should know to send the "start" command when you start the NAS
