Manual start torrent

[zeta]

Is there a way to start the torrent service manual using telnet? Where can I find the shell script to start this service?

[espresso]

on the A-110 or C200?

[zeta]

Uh, the HDX-1000. But if you can tell me for A-110 or C200, then maybe that helps?
Thx

Have no experience with HDX at all...
The simplest way that comes to mind is via the CSI.
When you install transmission from there, un-ticket "start on boot"
and when you need to start it, just do restart

Sounds good?

No, does not sounds good

I want to access my HDX from other places (then home) using ssh and/or telnet. The CSI software is only on my home pc and for example not my work PC. So when I connect to my HDX with telnet I want to start then the torrent service. I don't want this service to run all the time (I want to have control )

Hehehe fair enough ,

From the top of my head:

take an ssh to your HDX
cd /share/Apps/transmission/bin
./transmission-daemon &

and that should do the trick for you.

If you wanna stop from the same directory
killall transmission-daemon

give it a run and see

Cheers,

Hi,

Hmmm... I don't have transmission installed. I use the default torrent client from the nmt. Only apps from CSI are in this dir (/share/Apps). So I can't find this script. Another hint?

[espresso]

Yes you're correct!
Honestly, not sure where the default transmission would be....
Can you go to /
and
find * -name "*trans*" -print
and see if you get any indicators there.
I'm not next to a nmt so I can't really check

[zeta]

So, I found where the default Transmission is installed:

/mnt/syb8634/bin/transmission-daemon

I tried to start this process as you mentioned:

$PWD/transmission-daemon &

It shows me 3 processes in 'top', but it did not work.
I killed the processes and I started the service in the normal way (via TV, remote control). Then it showed me 3 processes like:

/mnt/syb8634/bin/transmission-daemon -s /share/.transmission/daemon/socket -g /share/.transmission/

Looking in 'transmission-remote' I found out what the -s (start torrent) and -g (config dir) represents.

But, again, using this complete command didn't work either. Then I searched for the files calling transmission-deamon with these parameters. And that is done in script:
/mnt/syb8634/server/clutch

The rest was easy: to start the Torrent Service:
/mnt/syb8634/server/clutch start

and to stop:
/mnt/syb8634/server/clutch stop

The strange thing is that the frontend of the NMT on my TV shows as status 'Stopping' for the Torrent NMT app (in Setup), after I started it with 'clutch start'. But nevertheless, this works.

Hope this is helpfull for others
