[RESOLVED] Transmission downloads from scratch after outage

I have noticed that if Tonido restarts after power outage, and Transmission was running, then after reboot, Transmission tends to download files from the very begining. Then I am having to manually run "verify" on each active torrent. Once Verify is complete, torrents are downloaded from where it actually ended.

So I made a shell script that would force verify on all active torrents on plug bootup. So I added the script to rc*.d

But still it seems like verify is not happening.

Could someone tell me where I could find the Transmission log (as it might help me understand why verify is not happening at boot)? Or am I in the correct path adding to statup?

Solved. Now its working. I tried to add a KSH script to startup. Later I read somewhere that rc supports on .SH files. Once I ported the code, it now works fine.

Just in case anyone else had the same issue, the code below might help.

Code:

root@gPlug:~# cd /etc/init.d/
root@gPlug:/etc/init.d# nano verify_torrents.sh

Put the following in the SH file:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# REQUIRE: transmission-daemon

# just to be sure
sleep 5

TR_USER=<username>
TR_PASS=<password>

# force all torrents to be verified
for TORRENT in `transmission-remote -n ${TR_USER}:${TR_PASS} -l | sed '1d;$d' | tr " " "*"`; do
        TORRENT_ID=`echo $TORRENT | tr "*" " " | cut -c1-4`
        transmission-remote -n ${TR_USER}:${TR_PASS} -t $TORRENT_ID -v
done

Now add it to startup:

Code:

update-rc.d verify_torrents.sh defaults
