Transmission shutdown script for multiple torrents?
- by Khurshid Alam
I have written a shutdown script for transmission. Transmission calls the script after a torrent download finishes. The script runs perfectly on my machine (Ubuntu 11.04 & 12.04).
#!/bin/bash
sleep 300s
# default display on current host
DISPLAY=:0.0
# find out if monitor is on. Default timeout can be configured from screensaver/Power configuration.
STATUS=`xset -display $DISPLAY -q | grep 'Monitor'`
echo $STATUS
if [ "$STATUS" == "  Monitor is On" ]
###  Then check if  its still downloading a torrent. Couldn't figure out how.(May be) by monitoring network downstream activity? 
then
    notify-send "Downloads Complete" "Exiting  transmisssion now"
    pkill transmission
else
    notify-send "Downloads Complete" "Shutting Down Computer"
    dbus-send --session --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.gnome.SessionManager /org/gnome/SessionManager org.gnome.SessionManager.RequestShutdown
fi
exit 0
The problem is that when I'm downloading more than one file, when the first one finishes, transmission executes the script. I would like to do that but after all downloads are completed. 
I want to put a 2nd check  ( right after monitor check) if it is still downloading another torrent.
Is there any way to do this?
