Hello.
Is it possible to pass command line arguments to a script? I am using deluge, headless on rasp pi.

Example. /home/user/execute_script 'hello world'
Note. Python script. Using the additional 'hello world' causes execute to fail.

The script is the example that logs arguments to syslog.

Help please. Thanks.

No but just create an intermediate script that does that.

Thanks. That is what I expected. Tried that but calling the my python script from the intermediary causes execute to fail. I can execute the script without issue just not in execute. Permissions look OK. My script requires arguments thought this may be confusing my script.

See here for details about scripts: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Plugins/Execute

I had already looked at that page but thanks for the reminder. I still have no luck with the script called from the intermediary. They both have the same permissions. I added logging to both but only see logging for the main script. If I don't use the execute plugin the script completes and logging is as expected.

Is execute allowed to use subprocess call. I.e can it spawn another python subprocess?

What is the log output of Execute? Do the test scripts work? Start small and build from there...
