Can't make linux script work in 'execute command for mega dl limit'

[valtoree]

Hi as above, I have set path to script /home/user/script.sh for 'Execute this command when MEGA download limit is reached' But never works. It works if im on terminal. What am I missing? Tx for your time.,

Hi!

You can test by launching the script like this (there is a button to test):

/usr/bin/sh /home/user/script.sh

Ty for reply. Great work by the way. Unfortunately still not working 😪 I used both the flathub version and the downloaded portable version. There is no error message. Just does nothing 🤷 I even tried some other random command and same outcome. No response. No error message.

Hello, same here on the latest portable version for Windows, the script does not run once reached the limit.

Thanks!

What script are you running? Mine looks like this, it works fine. The other issue some might see is that script does not run the script even if limit is reached, until after 10 minutes. Can see my fix here in this issue #507

pwsh -NoProfile -command "C:\Program` Files\NordVPN\NordVPN.exe -c -g Singapore"

I run a batch script that changes VPN (express VPN) using expresso , so it's just a batch script. btw, it's working well on 7.72, I tried 7.73 same bad behavior.

ill have a look at your fix, thanks!

Hi, i just had some time to test it out in my Ubuntu 22.04 VM, it works fine with the portable version.

/usr/local/bin/zsh /home/user/Downloads/MegaBasterdLINUX/connect.sh

#!/bin/sh

nordvpn c Singapore

When i check with nordvpn status, it does switch servers whenever it hits the limit, or whenever i press the test button.

Hi!

You can test by launching the script like this (there is a button to test):

/usr/bin/sh /home/user/script.sh

But what do I write in script. If download limit is reached, then obviously I want to do something to bypass the limit and continue downloading... so what do i need to write in that shell script which i need to keep in user directory?? I do not have a vpn that I can call via script but I do want to continue downloading...how?
