Configuring Launcher

Overview

The Launcher extension provides an easy way to launch executables on various Hadouken events. It can be used to start command-line tools that provide some service, for example to unpack RAR’ed torrents when they finish.

Warning

Executables launched will run with the same privileges as the user which runs Hadouken.

Enabling Launcher

{
  "extensions":
  {
    "launcher":
    {
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Launching an executable

The executable you launch will recieve three arguments passed to its command line. These are, in order,

• The hex-encoded info hash.
• The torrents name.
• The save path.

Each entry in the apps array is another array with two fields. The first field is a string with the event name, and the second is a string with a path to the application to launch.

The example below will launch C:/Apps/some-app.bat every time a torrent is added.

{
  "extensions":
  {
    "launcher":
    {
      "enabled": true,
      "apps":
      [
        [ "torrent.added", "C:/Apps/some-app.bat" ]
      ]
    }
  }
}

Available events

• torrent.added
• torrent.finished
