Optioal feature: Start SABnzbd #199

Hi, big fan of the feature!

Im one of the freaks whose really anal about memory usage on my PC thus i don't like to start too many programs at startup.

Ive always noticed when i use Sabnzbdconnect++ on a nzb site - it always says it 'Could not contact SabNZBD' which is fine because its not running.

Is it possible to have an optimal feature that starts sabnzbd from sabnzbdconnect++. That would alleviate the manual action of starting it everything i intend to use it in my browser.

Just a thought.

Your suggestion is a fine idea, but is unfortunately out of scope for what a browser extension can do.

If you're using Linux with systemd, you could potentially get similar behavior by configuring socket activation of the SABnzbd service. I'm not sure if that would work, but it crossed my mind.
