Lingon and HellaNZB

[Rustig]

Maybe its a little problem but after 2 days of reading and trying i have to ask you

 

I used Lingon to add hellanzb.py as a startup application, see my screenshot for the details:

 

 

When i reboot the system i can find 2 errors in my logfiles:

 

Jun 4 16:08:34 maikels-computer launchd[372]: Hellanzb: exited with exit code: 1

Jun 4 16:08:34 maikels-computer launchd[372]: Hellanzb: 9 more failures without living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal

 

Maybe its not possible to run a Python application like this, but there has to be a working 'trick'

 

Can someone point me the sollution?

 

Thanks in advance:

How to autostart hellanzb.py -D via Lingon (LaunchD)

 

1. Hellanzb is configured and working

2. Create a simple hell script to launch hellanzb -D at startup

3. Configure Lingon

4. Reboot

 

Download Lingon from: http://lingon.sourceforge.net/

 

Install

 

Create a shell script (you can use Pico in the terminal)

 

Open the terminal

type: cd /Applications/ [enter]

type: pico hellanzbd.sh

 

the hellanzbd.sh should contain:

 

#!/bin/bash

cd /opt/local/bin/

./hellanzb.py -D

exit 0

 

Save in Pico with: ctrl+o

Exit Pico with: ctrl+x

 

You have to apply the root:wheel permissions to the file

In the terminal you type:

 

sudo -s

[enter password]

chmod -f 755 /Applications/hellanzbd.sh

chown root:wheel /Applications/hellanzbd.sh

diskutil repairPermissions /

 

Now its time to configure Lingon:

 

Open the application Lingon

Use the Assistent to add the startup shell:

 

Select: Run a job at startup

*[Next]

Type your label for this job

Deselect Launch only when i Login

Select Must run as root

*[Next]

The job command is: /Applications/hellanzbd.sh

*[Create]

 

Your done, check the Users Daemons tab for the job, if its correct it will turn Green
