utorrent script to run exe or bat

Post by Amishman »

When a torrent has finished downloading I would like for it to automatically be removed. uTorrent does not have that option. I found a .exe that will do it for me. I have my script in the "Run program when finished" box and it runs great.

If I put the direct path to the exe before the script, the exe works but the script does not work properly. I then made a bat file to run the exe in the "change status" box. When the torrent would change to "Seeding" (5) it would run the exe. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Is there a way for filebot to run the exe or bat file? preferably before it renames the file. With it "Seeding" it can not move the file and does not rename the file.

While I think your best bet is to probably try and have both filebot and the torrent removal app being run through a single batch file, you can try running a joined command line using &&

More on running two commands one one command line: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8055 ... indows-cmd

Note: rather than just running 'filebot -blah blah blah', you'll probably need to do something along the lines of:
pseudo code wrote:cmd /c filebot -blah -blah -blah && "c:\i_dont_like_seeding\remove_torrent_program.exe"

Thank you for your reply.

I was able to get it to work. I put the filebot script into a .bat file.

Code: Select all

"C:\Rm_Finished_Torrents\Rm.Finished.Torrents.exe" "C:\Rm_Finished_Torrents\Filebot_Rename.bat" "%D" "%F" "%K" "%N" "%L" "%S"
