transmission-cleanup-ds412

Automatically remove completed torrents from transmission using transmission-remote and cron.

Assumptions:

• You're on a Synology DS412+ (NAS)
• You've installed findutils (ipkg install findutils) for full versions of find & xargs

The script filters finished torrents from the list and removes any matching torrents.

How to install

1. Place the script somewhere on your NAS. For example: /usr/local/scripts/transmission-cleanup.sh
2. Edit the USER and PASS variable within the script.
3. Check if the location to the transmission-remote is correct.
4. Setup a cron job to run the script periodically. For example:

vi /etc/crontab
7,22,37,52 * * * * root /usr/local/scripts/transmission-cleanup.sh 2>&1 > /dev/null # run every 15 minutes

Make sure to use tabs to delimited the columns, otherwise your cron job will be lost when you reboot your NAS.
