Title: notification about finished downloads
Post by: amuler on October 03, 2005, 02:26:42 PM

Hello,

maybe such a feature exist, but I have not found it.

Since I run the amule daemon on a server and access it only via web interface I am heavily missing an email notification about finished downloads. The web interface does not even show finished downloads in the transfer list or anywhere else.

Regards
Michael

First of all: I don't need the feature and think aMule is the better the smaller.
But as a workaround you could set a up a cronjob that periodicaly checks your Incomingfolder and sends you a mail, if sth. changed to the previous check. Another option would be to check the log.

More generically, it could be configured to just run a user-specified program when a download completes.  aMule would give the path to the completed file as a parameter.

No, Ken. This may be usefull, but I would preffer mail or icq notification. This is match straitforward, without need to configure external scripts/programs etc.
Just talk directly to smtp server.

Well, I prefer ken's option. Much more generic.

Kry: most of similar programs gives a choice of notification methods - either by mail (icq, sms, etc) or by generic "run program I say".
As user - that what I would expect to see.

I believe lfroen's got a point here. There could be a radio button to choose either one. The last option would be external program. It would make life easier to users without loosing ken's generality.

Cheers!

A simple script can do the job:

this http://www.vinz486.com/MuleMail


Edit it and set vars.

Then start it using:

$MuleMail&


No crontab needed (it loop itself).


Bye.


PS: in the script there is a qx(mybeep&) line that call a simple script for playing some notes on pc speaker: this is made using the beep linux bin.

So I can "hear" when a download is complete: I don't have a monitor on my machine  :)
