Snapraid Runner Script

This script runs snapraid, and sends it output to the console, a log file and via email. All this is configurable.

It can be run manually, but its main purpose is to be run via cronjob/windows scheduler.

How to use

  • If you don’t already have it, download and install the latest python 2.7.
  • Download the latest release of this script and extract it anywhere or clone this repository via git.
  • Copy/rename the snapraid-runner.conf.example to snapraid-runner.conf and edit its contents. You need to at least configure snapraid.exectable and snapraid.config.
  • Run the script via python snapraid-runner.py.

Features

  • Runs diff before sync to see how many files were deleted and aborts if that number exceeds a set threshold.
  • Can create a size-limited rotated logfile.
  • Can send notification emails after each run or only for failures.
  • Can run scrub after sync
