Transmission Blocklist Update

[Scharbag]

So, I have a good blocklist for transmission but it seems that the list is not updated unless told to.

So, I did the following in FreeNAS as root:

Code:

touch /mnt/tank/Jail/transmission_1/media/update_block_list.sh
chmod +x /mnt/tank/Jail/transmission_1/media/update_block_list.sh

Then I added the following to the script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
transmission-remote -n <user>:<password> --blocklist-update

finally I added the following to the root user's crontab in the Transmission jail:

Code:

0 0 * * 0 sh /media/update_block_list.sh

My question is: will this work? If so, cool. If not, any suggestions? When I run the script, I get the following which is promising:

Code:

localhost:9091/transmission/rpc/ responded: "success"

Anywhoo, thought I would ask.

Cheers,

I don't know about the script but as for updating I typically only update my list manually as it's restricted now for bandwidth purposes.. So only one update per week etc..

Ahh, I will change the cron to weekly so I do not cause issues with bandwidth.

what you have looks fine, but you could lose this script and just put the command directory in the crontab, would save you a step and a file in the process

I though you could put commands right in the crontab but was not sure. Thanks for that info. I am just so used to making little scripts it was habit.
