bash alltray wine utorrent
I found a nifty script online using google that would launch wine utorrent paramater IF a parameter was passed to the bash script
otherwise it would just launch utorrent w/o the parameter. Well, for some odd reason the System Tray Icon for utorrent stopped displaying properly in xfce4 for me so I found a program called alltray. if you've installed alltray and have done alltray --help then you know the following is how you use alltray usage: alltray [options] ["] <program_name> [program parameter] ["] so I changed the script a bit, the old script had wine /path/to/utorrent.exe "$var" else wine /path/to/utorrent.exe & this worked great, but like I said, fubar'd sys tray requires me to use alltray now. the problem, I THINK, is my double quotes. the value of $var is not being passed correctly to utorrent. utorrent complains the /path/to/the/dot/torrent/file is not found. and utorrent displays it like so: Z:tmpNAME_OF_TORRENT.torrent I think it should look like Z:tmp\name_of_torrent.torrent or Z:\tmp\name_of_torrent.torrent the thing that is weird is I never changed the sed line, if it was parsing it properly before I don't see why it isn't now. additional information: in winecfg Z: is set to / so, where have I gone wrong in the following script? -thanks #!/bin/sh if [ "$1" != "" ]; then var="`echo $1 | sed 's/\//\\\/g'`" var="Z:${var}" alltray --icon /home/<user name>/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.png "wine /home/<user name>/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe "$var"" else alltray --icon /home/<user name>/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.png "wine /home/<user name>/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe &" fi |
May I ask for, why don't you use native torrent engines such as Azureus?
you wouldn't need wine to run that |
Playing with Scripts
This works (can be put in a file /usr/bin/uTorrent with sudo)
#!/bin/sh cd ~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/uTorrent/" if [ "$1" != "" ]; then var="`echo $1`" var="${var}" wine ~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe" "$var" else wine ~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe" fi --- This one also worked for me: (putting this in a file /usr/bin/uTorrent with sudo) #!/bin/sh cd ~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/uTorrent/" if [ "$1" != "" ]; then var="`echo $1 | sed 's%/%\/%g'`" var="l:${var}" wine ~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe" "$var" else wine ~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe" fi 'l' is my '/', change var="l:${var}" or wine, so that '/' and it's drive letter match the letter here, as well as match the paths to uTorrent, etc... The above code worked for me, while the codes I found for this on the internet didn't These only work for passing 0 or 1 torrents to uTorrent Wine will work in both formats(Windows, and Linux) for paths, so the conversion work part from above isn't necessary (and may reduce flexibility?) the cd ~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/uTorrent/" is also optional On my computer uTorrent has a tray icon without doing anything special -- Test your scripts by playing around with something like: #!/bin/sh if [ "$1" != "" ]; then var="`echo $1 | sed 's%/%\/%g'`" echo $var fi messing with the var= part, until it echoes what you want - KUbuntu 8.04_x64, Wine 1.0, uTorrent 1.7.7 |
