Sickbeard and Sabnzbdplus won't start at boot

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3477 / 1 Year ago, thu, may 11, 2023, 8:38:02

I seem to have some problems with automating some services at startup. I've had this problem before, but I couldn't find out the exact reason what caused this.

I've added both services to startup with:

$ sudo update-rc.d sickbeard defaults

Then:

$ sudo service sickbeard status

 * sickbeard is not running



$ sudo service sabnzbdplus status

 * SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber: not running



$ service --status-all 

 [ + ]  acpid

 [ - ]  rsync

 [ + ]  rsyslog

 [ - ]  sabnzbdplus

 [ + ]  saned

 [ ? ]  sendsigs

 [ - ]  sickbeard

(list is truncated)

As you can see the app is not starting at boot... What might be causing this?

Ok, i found the problem causing this. Maybe other people encounter the same problem.

My disk is encrypted and thus, is only readable when logged in. All program configurations are in /home/username, so unreadable. This causes the services to malfunction.

A fix i wrote:

#!/bin/bash -vx

DIR=/home/mainstream/.sabnzbd



sleep 10



function checkdir() {

if [ ! -d "$DIR" ];

then

   echo "File $DIR doesn't exist yet"

   sleep 5 && checkdir #loop to check if directory is ready

else

   echo "Directory $DIR exists"

   /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start && /etc/init.d/sickbeard start  && /etc/init.d/autosub start && /etc/init.d/couchpotatov2 start

fi

}



checkdir

It'll check whether the folders exist (every 5 seconds) and start the services accordingly. Add it (for example to rc.local).
Example rc.local:

#!/bin/sh -e

#

# rc.local

#

# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.

# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other

# value on error.

#

# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution

# bits.

#

# By default this script does nothing.

sleep 10

exec 2> /tmp/rc.local.log  # send stderr from rc.local to a log file

exec 1>&2                      # send stdout to the same log file

set -x                         # tell sh to display commands before execution

#/home/mainstream/.startup.sh

/opt/startup.sh



exit 0

Script output:

checkdir

+ checkdir

+ '[' '!' -d /home/mainstream/.sabnzbd ']'

+ echo 'File /home/mainstream/.sabnzbd doesn'''t exist yet'

File /home/mainstream/.sabnzbd doesn't exist yet
