I am using aria2 as a download client for remote control.
As what aria2 shows, it supports --on-download-complete, it can pass 3 parameters to the executed script. Here's is the reference: https://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html?highlight=on-download#event-hook
But now I am using a Python xmlrpc wrapper to talk to Aria2. this is the wrapper i am using: https://github.com/alfateam123/pyaria2
server = PyAria2(
'localhost',
6800,
rpcSecret={"useSecret": False, "secret": None}
)
unique_id_accepted = server.addUri([http://somewhere.com/somefile.iso],
options={
"dir": "/srv/",
"gid": "abcdef1234567890",
"max-connection per-server": 5,
"on-download-complete": "touch /tmp/done"
}
)
if Aria2 starts to download from the URI, the unique_id_accepted is the same as gid in this scenario. Actually aria2 works. When I see the downloading jobs in Aria2, the gid is accepted. But after it completes, it does not execute the command touch /tmp/done
Is there something wrong with the options?
How could you talk to aria2 to execute commands after it completes?
So many thanks!
update I found Sample XML-RPC Client Code
https://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#sample-xml-rpc-client-code
I tried this line: "onDownloadComplete": "touch /tmp/done" but it still does not work.
updated
version of aria2c aria2c -v
1.18.1
** Configuration **
Enabled Features: Async DNS, BitTorrent, Firefox3 Cookie, GZip, HTTPS, Message Digest, Metalink, XML-RPC
Hash Algorithms: sha-1, sha-224, sha-256, sha-384, sha-512, md5
Libraries: zlib/1.2.8 libxml2/2.9.1 sqlite3/3.8.1 GnuTLS/2.12.23 libgcrypt/1.5.3 c-ares/1.10.0
I found the solution.
It only supports "event hook" in command line.
Here is the solution: https://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#event-hook
We should add the executed script in this format.
The experiment I did before was not suitable to Aria2c. It was born with this defect (Proved).
Hope this could be helpful for another soul :P
