Aria2: Automatic Email Notification on Download Completion

Preface

Since I have no coding background and have never learned anything about coding, my descriptions may not be very accurate. This script came to me when I was downloading movies. In today's society, everything is becoming intelligent, so I wanted to tinker and create an email download notification.

Building an Email System

I encountered quite a few problems during installation and debugging, but I searched around. Following this blogger's operation record, and with the help of Baota, you can usually configure it successfully. Just test it a few more times.

Finding and Modifying the Script

I first found a script modified by a user on the Enshan Wireless Forum for notification purposes.

In the script provided by the author, you just need to fill in the email information, but I had some problems with the sendmail command at the time, and then I followed the records in the first part. I've already written some of the script stuff to the server, so I changed a lot of the original script.

When I was debugging with the author's script, aria2.log kept showing the no such file or directory error, but I couldn't find the reason. Then I thought of writing all the scripts using pipes... It seems a bit stupid... but I don't know any other methods.

负载 "`uptime`"

版本 "`uname -a`"

From Zero.

Have a nice day." | mail -s 'Aria2通知' example@qq.com

This is the content of my script. It's very simple, right? But I actually worked on it for a long time to get a working one. Aria2通知 is the title of the email. The specific meaning of the parameters should be found in the article link in the first part.

Final Debugging

Specific steps:

1. Upload the email.sh script to the server
2. Modify the on-download-complete= parameter in aria2.conf, fill in the absolute address of the script after =

In order to simultaneously achieve:

• Email notification
• Automatic upload

I call email.sh in the autoupload.sh script.

Specific writing method:

. /root/.aria2/email.sh

My Aria2 is using Aria2 一键安装管理脚本

Ending

I'm not very satisfied with this script myself. Although it can achieve basic functions, there are these problems:

1. Two emails are sent for each download, one when the torrent download is complete and one when the file download is complete.
2. I don't understand the syntax, I've tried basename, ##/ and stuff like that, but I've tried for a long time and haven't been able to get the filename.

This is my first time writing an article, I don't know anything about layout, and it's quite verbose. But it's fun.
