Script to CleanUP Transmission

For this to run automatic is need to edit a cron job

Runnig from CronJob

• https://crontab.guru
• https://crontab-generator.org/
  install cron
  crontab -l
  crontab -e
  sudo systemctl status cron

crontab not working in OSMC

Don’t forget to make it executable : sudo chmod +x /home/osmc/removecompletedtorrents.sh
Then schedule the job with cron :
crontab -e
append this line at the end of the file, the script will run every 12 Hours with no output at all.
