TransNotifo

I use Transmission to download torrents on my headless Linux box. I was tired of always having to remote into the machine via FreeNX, SSH or web interface to see if downloads had completed. I have been using Notifo for sometime to monitor the lighting on my snakes aquarium and decided that this would be a good use of Notifo once again. So after a bit of research I came across a bash script example that allowed Transmission to log to a file upon completion of downloads. I then came across a script that would let you send alerts to Notifo from the command line …. So I combined them and was left with the following.

#!/bin/bash
# Version 020411
# Variables
CURL=&quot;/usr/bin/curl&quot;
NAME=&quot;NOTIFO_USERNAME&quot;
APISECRET=&quot;NOTIFO_API_SECRET&quot;
URL=&quot;https://api.notifo.com/v1/send_notification&quot;
TITLE=&quot;Finished&quot;
LABEL=&quot;Transmission&quot;
# Construct and Send
messageMSG=&quot;title=$TITLE&amp;amp;label=$LABEL&amp;amp;msg=+$TR_TORRENT_NAME&quot;$CURL -k -u $NAME:$APISECRET -d $MSG $URL &amp;gt; /dev/null

I have pushed this to GitHub and that is where any updates will be made when/if there are any that are made in the near future
