Hello, I am trying to set up a few notifications for when a torrent finished downloading. Basically i just want to send the name of the finished torrent to an mqtt topic.

At the moment, this is what is getting written to the log: ^@bash /home/rtorrent/finishtorrent.sh [Silver Forest] Eternal Paradigm

Which makes me think its not working, because the syntax needed to manually use the finishtorrent.sh script would be: bash /home/rtorrent/finishtorrent.sh "[Silver Forest] Eternal Paradigm"

^@ is a control character which you can usually disregard. it seems rtorrent is printing in your log file what it's supposed to, so what's the problem?

Thanks for your reply, after more troubleshooting I can see that the way I worded the issue is wrong, and also the answer that I wanted to get is wrong.

In the rtorrent log it looks like rtorrent executes the bash script and then the full torrent name without quotes. Is there a way to make rtorrent output the torrent name with quotes?

I still don't understand. :confused: in the log you should first see what rtorrent executed, and then the result of the execution. quotes there do not make sense, and I don't get why they matter to you.

e.g. compare echo hello and echo "hello" -- they would both print hello! do you really want to execute echo "\"hello\"", which would print "hello"?

maybe you should try to explain better:

  1. what you are trying to accomplish,
  2. what you are currently doing, and how,
  3. what the logs show, in full.
