[Solved] Run a script on exit

[Joel_Santos_Rico]

Hi,

I'm trying to run a script when the execution finishes. I'm trying with exec, but the syntax is wrong and I can't see why. Can somebody help me fix it?

EDIT: I'm using the wrong plugin. exec runs commands on entries, and I want to run a script at the end of the execution (just once, to do some cleanup). Is that possible FROM flexget?

My config file is:

schedules:
  # Run tasks at 6 and 18
  - tasks: '*'
    schedule:
      hour: 6, 18

tasks:
  SeriesTask:
    rss: http://showrss.info/user/12345.rss?magnets=true&namespaces=true&name=null&quality=anyhd&re=null
    all_series:
      path: /mnt/Router_Stuff/Torrent/Series/{{series_name}}
    transmission:
      host: localhost
      port: 9091
      username: myuser
      password: "mypassword"
    exec:
      auto_escape: yes
      on_output:
        for_accepted: echo "accepted {{title}} - {{url}}" | logger -t Flexget
      on_exit: start /mnt/Router_Stuff/scripts/FlexgetOnExit


web_server:
  run_v2: true

The error I'm getting when I run flexget execute is

(flexget) Joel@RT-AC56U:/tmp/home/root/.flexget# flexget execute
2018-04-04 17:48 CRITICAL manager                       [/tasks/SeriesTask/exec/on_exit] Got `start /mnt/Router_Stuff/scripts/FlexgetOnExit`, expected: dict

What platform are you running on running on here?
Using start implies windows but you're using a *nix mount point.

Try the below:

on_exit: "/mnt/Router_Stuff/scripts/FlexgetOnExit"

Read the documentation https://flexget.com/Plugins/exec#AdvancedConfiguration

You have to specify one of:

for_entries
for_accepted
for_rejected
for_failed
for_undecided

@wondernode That was the last thing I tried, I just wanted to give it a try. I'm running flexget in my Asus router.
@civium. You are right, a more careful read of the page shows that I'm using the wrong tool. I don't want to run a script on the entries, I want to run a script every time that flexget finishes. I could do that by running a script that executes flexget and then runs my script afterwards, and schedule it using cron, but I would prefer to keep flexget as a daemon and run the scheduler plugin. My script copies the DB and config file from my home folder (which is stored in RAM, because my router has no storage that I can use) to an HDD that I plugged. That way, when the router resets, I don't lose the DB or any changes in the config. Is what I want to do possible?

exec:
  on_exit:
    phase: do stuff

^ Will run the command once on task exit.
