Python script to clear completed downloads

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:
Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import json
import requests
import logging
import argparse
# Set up logging - kinda important when deleting stuff!
logFormatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s [%(levelname)-5.5s] %(message)s")

exit(0)

logging.debug('Skipping '+tor['state']+' torrent: '+tor['name'])
continue
logging.info('Clearing '+tor['state']+' torrent: '+tor['name'])

response.raise_for_status()
logging.debug('POST data: '+str(payload))
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as err:
logging.error(str(err))
exitcode = 1
logging.debug('Exiting normally with code '+str(exitcode))
if debugmode == 1:
print('')
exit(exitcode)

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.
