External command scripts for activity detection
###############################################

A collection of user-provided scripts to use with the :ref:`check-external-command` check for activity detection.

pyLoad
******

`pyLoad <https://pyload.net/>`_ uses an uncommon login theme for its API and hence two separate requests are required to query for active downloads.
Use something along the following lines to query `pyLoad`_.

.. code-block:: bash

   #!/bin/bash

   SessionID=$(curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login" -g -H "Host: 127.0.0.1:8000" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data "username=user&password=password" | jq -r)

   SessionStatus=$(curl -s  "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/statusServer" -g -H "Host: 127.0.0.1:8000" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --data "session=$SessionID" | jq -r '.active')

   if [ $SessionStatus -eq 1 ]
   then
     exit 0
   else
     exit 1
   fi
