Title: amulecmd
Post by: antcasq on June 16, 2005, 11:50:12 PM

I'm trying to use amulecmd to change the bandwidth like stated in http://forum.amule.org/thread.php?threadid=4828&sid=&

The idea is the use the crontab to add a task that will reduce or increse the upload/download bandwidth based on time.

So I wish to increse from 3 am to 9 am an decrease between 9 am and 3 am.

I have 3 problems:
1 -Every time I run "amulecmd" from a terminal, it asks me for the host, port and password in a GUI!
I need the script to do the job, so I can schedule it, without showing a GUI and waiting for user input.

2- Even if I had to use a GUI I always get an error connecting:
Creating client...
Now, doing connection....
Using host 'localhost' port: 4712
Trying to connect (timeout = 10 sec)...
Connection Failed. Unable to connect to the specified host

I shutdown the firewall and I still wasn't able to connect.


3- When I execute amulecmd --help in the terminal, it does show any option to send a command to emule!?!?

How can I send the command 'amulecmd -c "setdownbwlimit 2"' if the option "-c" is not supported?



Thanks in advance

Sorry, when I created the thread I specified the amule version in the combobox, so I thought it was visible.

When I type "amulecmd --help":
=» amulecmd 2.0.2 using wxGTK2 v2.5.2

And the "-c" option doesn't show

The GUI always opens!?!? Is my version of amule cracked or something?

There are two versions of amulecmd: a command-line version called amulecmd, and a GUI version called amulecmdDLG. The -c option is only supported by the command-line version.

From the above, I think you only have the GUI version, renamed to amulecmd.

Did you install amule from a package or compiled yourself? In the first case which package?

I think I instaled Amule from: http://packman.iu-bremen.de/ but I'm not sure because I also instaled some software via Red Carpet.

After uninstaling amule 2.0.2 and installed 2.0.3 from Sourceforge, I worked OK.

Thanks
