Synology start/stop init.d scripts for SABnzbd, Sickbeard and CouchPotato

On July 10, 2011, in linux, scripts, synology, by Michael

Disclaimer:The following init.d scripts assume some linux knowledge and that your Synology NAS device has been bootstrapped allowing you to install the required dependancies using ipkg.

These instructions do not describe how to download, install or configure SABnzbd, Sickbeard or CouchPotato. All init.d scripts have been tested and work fine on a Synology 411+ running DSM 3.1. All init.d scripts expect certain packages to be installed in order to work correctly.

These scripts should be placed in /opt/etc/init.d/ and be given the same filenames and permissions as shown below.

All init.d scripts require some values to be defined by you in order to work correctly.

Required Packages

  • openssl
  • py26-cheetah
  • py26-openssl
  • python26
  • wget

Unboxing the eeePC

On October 4, 2008, in posts, by Michael

So for some of you who know me, I’ve been going on about the eeePC laptop for sometime and I recently (today) received a free eeePC 4G Surf from my bank. As I switched to some new account type and jumped through all their hoops. Needless to say I am pretty pleased so far and can’t wait to get hacking on this thing. Enough with the talk, on with the pictures.

A simple perl script utilizing mkisofs that takes a VIDEO_TS directory full of vobs and creates a dvd iso image. It needs a bit of further modification to make it more robost, but the basics are there and its fully usable.
