I thought, gnuplot is able to do UTC shift.

It is a pity to do work, which maybe someone has made earlier. :)

Okey, It's done.
I made UTC shift. Now, the graph show in real domestic time.


transmission.cgi

Code:

cat > ${GNUPLOT_COMMAND} << __EOF__
set terminal png small size 800,320
set output '${GNUPLOT_OUTPUT}'
#set timestamp "%d/%m/%y %H:%M"
set timestamp "%d:%m/%H:%M"
set xdata time
set timefmt "%d:%m/%H:%M"
set format x "%H:%M\n%d/%m"
plot '${GNUPLOT_DATA}' using 1:2 title 'download' with impulses, '${GNUPLOT_DATA
}' using 1:3 title 'upload' with impulses
quit
__EOF__

#sed  -n '/transmissiond/s/.*: \([0-9]\{1,10\}\) [0-9]\{1,\} dl
awk '/transmissiond\[[0-9]+\]: +[0-9]+[0-9]+/ {printf "%s ", strftime("%d:%m/%H:%M", $5); printf "%.2f ", $8;printf "%.2f\n", $10*-1 }'< ${SYSLOG} > ${GNUPLOT_DATA}

${GNUPLOT} ${GNUPLOT_COMMAND}

I just installed transmission package, pushed some torrent and it looks working.
But when I press Update button, I get this result: ".status not found for <torrent_path>"
Also when I press Log, this is displayed:

gnuplot> plot '/opt/share/torrent/work/transfer.data' using 1:2 title 'download' with impulses, '/opt/share/torrent/work/transfer.data' using 1:3 title 'upload' with impulses ^ "/opt/share/torrent/work/transfer.gnuplot", line 6: no data point found in specified file

Do I need "torrent" ipkg installed too?
When I installed torrent first, then transmission couldn't be installed because of conflict.
So I removed torrent, then installed transmission and tried some download, it didn't start. After installing torrent package, it worked. But I'm not sure if now 2 downloads aren't started, here's part of running processes:

345 admin 2620 R N btget -t 59 /opt/share/torrent/work/file.torrent
3314 admin 172 S N transmissiond -p 65534 -w 300 -u -1 -d -1 -i /opt/var/run/transmission.pid /opt/share/torrent/active-torrents.txt

Thanks...

btget should not be running!

torrent package conflict is intentional. If you gonna use scrape or info, then you need also libbt package. If you want transfer graph log then gnuplot must be installed.

Problems with .status could be that transmisisond is not receiving USR1 signal. This may be due to invalid path to PIDFILE or something like that. Pressing Update sends signal to daemon, waits one second and reads .status files in active torrent directories. Take attention to syslog daemon.

Read instructions in /opt/share/doc/transmission/README.daemon

There is uclibc pthread bug if you are using "wl500g" package feed. "oleg" feed is probably the best thing as it uses NPLT threading tailored especially for Broadcom processors.

Thanks, the problem was that I used wl500g feed, after changing to oleg, file .status was created.

How do i make it download 5 torrents at the same time ?
Can this be done ?

Sure it can. You can also queue torrents, manual administer and get some transfer graph like this:

Somehow the post-mount wont load itself so I had to do it manually.
Then Ive tried adding the line to post-boot as some1 in the other thread suggested and I still need to load it manually after router reboot so the script works :S

Common mistake is missing

#! /bin/sh

at the top and chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/post-mount

Ive checked.
Both are correct.
I added it to post-boot also but that doesnt work either.
I think that mounting of hdd is too long and the script runs it before its mounted or something.
Any other clues ?

BTW Why wont the ctorrent start downloading after rebooting ? I need to push it to suspend and then again to make it work ?

Being a noob is so annoying..

It will restart after reboot if you properly configured cron to run transmisison_watchdog periodicly. For manual restart use Watchdog button.

Latest CGI script adds configurable graph TimeZone shift and some Log enhancements. Scrape change and some patches to daemon.

I had a problem because the cgi script to control torrents (transmission version- Great work oleo!) failed to initilize during post-boot. The same problem people reported in this thread: link.

Finally I've got a solution: during post-boot the global variable $HOME is unset (or set to '/', don't exactly remember) and line: HTTPD_CONFIG=${HOME}/httpd.conf in S80busybox_httpd is invalid but if we change this for ex. hardcoded HTTPD_CONFIG=/opt/share/www/httpd.conf everything works. I've using the latest Oleg firmware. Maybe this could help someone :-)

How to set a password to cgi script ?

Checking for $HOME added in S80busybox_httpd startup script.

Httpd service still doesnt start from post-boot in Transmission-1189. Here are logs:

Creating default //httpd.conf
Starting busybox httpd at port 8008 ... done

And $HOME in post-boot is set to: /
But when I connect to the router $HOME is set to /usr/local/root

httpd services and souch should start from post-mount script and not from post-boot
