The Transmission BitTorrent client has a daemon that can be accessed with a web interface.
That means no resources are wasted on the graphical user interface, unless you open it in
a browser (http://localhost:9091
).
Addititonally, here's a rather simple openbox pipemenu, only to start/stop the daemon, open the web ui and dump some info into a terminal window on request.
If you have authentication enabled you can tell your shell to set an environment variable
called TR_AUTH
(man transmission-remote
) (be aware that this is not very secure).
This script will recognize it and use it, no need to enter username/password anymore.
Requires bash
& openbox
& transmission-cli
.
On archlinux, transmission-daemon
is included in transmission-cli
, but on
debian (stable) it is a seperate package.
It's good to have the XTERMINAL
and XBROWSER
environment variables defined,
otherwise the script defaults to xterm
and firefox
.
If you use a different terminal emulator than urxvt
(my choice) or xterm
,
the terminal commands might not work.
If that happens, please open an Issue and I will add the appropriate syntax.
See Openbox wiki on how to use pipemenus.
