Hi everyone. After some searching, I couldn't find a good way to start and stop Transmission automatically, so I did the following:
- Go to System -> Cron Jobs -> Add Cron Job
- In the window that appears enter jexec n /usr/local/bin/transmission-remote -n "username:password" -t all -s as the command to execute. Replace n with the jail ID where Transmission is installed and username and password with your Transmission username and password.
- Select the root user to execute it, add a description (start all torrents) and set the time and day from the UI. Save.
- Add a new cron job for stopping the torrents. Use the same command but replace -s with -S (which will stop all downloads): jexec n /usr/local/bin/transmission-remote -n "username:password" -t all -S. Add description and time and save.
- You're done!
