Deluge not running script on torrent download completion

I have deluge setup on a seedbox and have added the execute plugin and put in the path to a script to run.
I have tested the script from the command line and it runs fine.
When I put the script into the execute plugin in Deluge it does not run after a torrent has completed downloading.
I have restated deluge several times to no avail.
Any ideas why my script is not running?

Are you testing by adding an already downloaded torrent(so don't have to wait to finish downloading for the test)? I ask because that won't work(as doesn't emit 'TorrentFinishedEvent'). Otherwise test with a simple script, e.g 'touch /tmp/deluge-ok', with shebang added and execute-bit set , and placed where permission to read(and traverse perms in preceding sub-dirs). Note, no arguments allowed after script-path in execute plugin preferences.
Just throwing the "usual suspects" out there.

As mhertz said, make sure the script is executable.
Sharing your execute.conf wouldn't hurt either.

I've tested by adding a totally new torrent to deluge and still nothing

The script is executable as it runs perfectly when I run it from the command line.
Where do I find the execute.conf file? Sorry I'm a little new to Linux

No worries
, and yeah good suggestion by basher about execute.conf, which being in usually '/var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/execute.conf'
(Another related gotcha just remembered BTW, is there being no path expansion for script-name defined, so need specify full path even if in $Path)

Config might also be in homedir @ ~/.config/deluge/execute.conf.
If you can't locate it, search for it:
Code: Select all
find / -type f -path '*/deluge/execute.conf' 2>/dev/null
