[bug] "Run Program" don't work

[ceafdc]

Hi, I'm using µTorrent Server alpha (3.0 build 27079) installed on Debian and Ubuntu 12.04 both on 32bit

The option to run a program when a torrent finishes or change state doesn't work. I've tested on the two servers mentioned above and it doesn't work on both. And sometimes gives a segmentation fault on utserver and it needs to be restarted.

Hope to be helpful to other users.

Thanks

I can confirm on the same build on a fedora 17 machine there are definitely issues.

Something like the following in "Run Program":

/home/user/Scripts/simpleunrar.sh "%D"

the script runs and uTorrent server says:

Executing: /home/user/Scripts/simpleunrar.sh "/media/HardDrive/YourCurrentTorrent"

The script echo's its commands so I know it is running but utorrent wont pass it it's arguments.

calling the script from the command line works fine but when called from utorrent it never sees the

"/media/HardDrive/YourCurrentTorrent"

So again there are diffidently issues with the Run Program, I have tried every permeation of quotes:

"/home/user/Scripts/simpleunrar.sh %D"

"/home/user/Scripts/simpleunrar.sh" "%D"

/home/user/Scripts/simpleunrar.sh %D

"/home/user/Scripts/simpleunrar.sh" %D

But that %D never makes it to the script. Which works fine from command line.

You can test it with a script as simple as:

#!/bin/bash

set -x

echo "You Want This: \""$1"\""

And it will only ever output:

You Want This: ""

Perhaps our issues are related in some way. Anyone that would like to share any information on how to get an argument to a bash script from this interface can feel free to chime in.

Thank you.

The Run Program is indeed broken. You can't pass any argument. I'm using µTorrent Server alpha 3.0 (27079) on Debian amd64.

Is it possible to fix this?

Hi,

I ran into this problem a long time ago. I found that the first substitution variable get's "thrown away". I used some verbose "debugging" & logging with my scripts to find out what was going on.

Try doubling your first variable. For example, try this. (I found I had to use double quotes around the variables too.)

/home/user/Scripts/simpleunrar.sh "%D" "%D"

Hope that helps!

Regards!

Very very nice. I can confirm that this workaround actually works. Thank you!
