[Mldonkey-users] Need a hint sending commands to mldonkey

[Andre Hinrichs]

Hi List!

I have a script which automatically sends commands to mldonkey by using the 
netcat command. The script itself is started by cron.
The idea is to automatically search for files over night and also add the 
search results to the download list.
Now, the searches work perfectly well. But if there is a problem adding the 
file (e.g. file is already downloaded) there are rare cases where the command 
hangs. I think it is because the next command is being processed while the 
last has not been completed, but I'm not sure.
I already increased the sleep times without any success.
Is there any script existing which communicates with mldonkey perfectly???
If so, I would be very glad.

Here is the script I am using sending commands:

#!/bin/bash

DELAY="-i 1"
DO_SLEEP=1
if [ "${1}" == "--quick" ]; then
    DELAY=""
    DO_SLEEP=0
    shift
fi

(
    echo "auth blablubb"
    if [ ${DO_SLEEP} -eq 1 ]; then
        sleep 1
    fi
    echo "ansi false"
    if [ ${DO_SLEEP} -eq 1 ]; then
        sleep 1
    fi
    echo "$@"
    if [ ${DO_SLEEP} -eq 1 ]; then
        sleep 5
    fi
    echo "q"
) | netcat ${DELAY} 192.168.68.1 4000
