Python script to clear completed downloads

Post by jeremysherriff »

Not strictly linux, but python is more common here I guess.

https://github.com/jeremysherriff/OpenF ... omplete.py
Complete script in first comment below in case repo gets moved/closed.

Code: Select all

clear_qbt_complete.py [option]
  Clears "Completed" status torrents from qBitTorrent
  Connects to "localhost:8080" without credentials
  Logs output to /var/log/clear_qbt_complete.log
  By default logs nothing to stdout/stderr to allow use in cron

  Options:
    -v --verbose : to enable console logging in addition to logfile
    -t --test    : for test mode (no delete) - implies -v
Edit: This script trigger the "also delete files on the hard disk" option, in case that was not clear.
That's what makes this different from simply setting the action on reaching seeding limit to "remove".

Full code as promised:

# Set up logging - kinda important when deleting stuff!

Edit: Code clean-up for console output

How are you calling the script? I have searched and asked in a lot of places but no one seems to know, all I find are a huge number of people asking how it is done.

I just want to run a damn python script. :-\

I just call it in a cron job, same as any other script:

Code: Select all

mediabox@mediabox:~$ sudo crontab -l
19 14 * * *     /etc/webmin/package-updates/update.pl
1 18 * * *      /opt/custom/clear_qbt_complete.py
31 6 * * *      /opt/custom/radarr_search.py
21 9 * * *      /opt/custom/radarr_unmonitor_downloaded.py
14 16 * * *     /opt/custom/qbt_ipfilterlist.sh
mediabox@mediabox:~$

Ahh, my bad, I thought you had used the built in execute tool.

Perhaps I will give the scheduler a go. Thanks for your time.
