Screen shots identifying each pane and the process it runs are located at the bottom of this page.

Before submitting a bug report, please verify that you are running the current revision of Newznab+ and these scripts. Then include as much detail as possible. A screen shot is am extremely telling and very usefull tool.

This is a series of scripts that break down the stock processes of a typical Newznab+ installation and perform each task separately and at the same time. Tmux allows for several windows and panes to be created to allow the monitoring of each script as it performs its task. Each task is started and restarted by monitor.php. The post processing has also been enhanced to allow up to 32 simultaneous post processes plus another 8 for each category of releases, for a total of 40 possible post processing at once. The scripts are started by either timers, set in defaults.sh or started automatically and then sleeps for a time set in defaults.sh. Almost everything can be stopped/started from the defaults.sh without restarting the scripts.
-
tmux 1.6 or newer is needed to runs these scripts. These scripts relies on tmux reporting that the "Pane is dead". That is how the script knows that is nothing running in that pane and to restart it for another loop. Seeing "Pane is dead" is normal and expected. If, you are using *bsd or MacOS, you may need to install gnu sed(gsed) and set the path to it in defaults.sh.
-
To exit the scripts without any worry of causing problems. Click into the Monitor pane, top left and Ctrl-c, or edit defaults.sh and set running="false". This will stop the monitor script. When all of the other panes show dead, then it is ok to run Ctrl-a c and in new window run killall tmux. The only unsafe time to kill these scripts is when optimize is running. Monitor will display a warning whenever an optimize is in progress.

These scripts were written and tested on Ubuntu 12.10 and FreeBSD 9.1. You may need to create a symbolic link or edit these scripts accordingly.

Please backup your database first. Something like this should do it.
mysqldump --opt -u username -p newznab > ~/newznab_backup.sql-
If, you have just created your Newznab+ database, you can save yourself some time by importing a sql file, written by _zoggy_ and updating your TvRage database. DO NOT run this if your database has any releases in it.
mysql -u username -p newznab < scripts/tvrage-latest.sql
* You can also import [kevin123's binaryblacklist](https://github.com/kevinlekiller/Newznab-Blacklist). This will overwrite all blacklists currently in you db.
```bash
mysql -u username -p newznab < scripts/binaryblacklist.sql
- Now, Clone my github. These scripts need to run from this location and this is where I was asked to put them. If you have decided to use an alternate location, you will need to edit the file bin/config.php to point to the file neqznab/www/config.php. If you do not, these scripts will not run.
cd /var/www/newznab/misc/update_scripts/nix_scripts/
git clone https://github.com/jonnyboy/newznab-tmux.git tmux
cd tmux- Please read the defaults.sh file very carefully. There are a lot of settings and options. Most of the questions asked by new users can be answered by reading this file.
cp config.sh defaults.sh
nano defaults.sh- Now, you need to update your Newznab+ installation, copy some files and edit others. This is destructive and will overwrite any changes you have made to you Newznab+ files. If you do not want to update or overwrite you Newznab+ installation, skip this step, but not the next step.
cd scripts && sudo ./update_svn.sh- Or, if you do not want to update your Newznab+ install, you still need to copy and edit files. Before proceeding you must run this or the previous script.
cd scripts && sudo ./fix_files.sh- These scripts are written and intended that you run them as an unprivileged user.
cd ../ && ./start.sh-
If you have grsec compiled into your kernel, you may need root privileges for nmon, bwm-ng and any other app that accesses the /proc folder.
-
Included in the scripts folder is revert.sh. This file will update your Newznab+ installation and overwrite the changes from these scripts.
-
Almost any variable in defaults.sh can be changed, except the paths to the commands, and the changes will take effect on the next loop of the Monitor.

If you connect using putty, then under Window/Translation set Remote character set to UTF-8 and check "Copy and paste line drawing characters". To use 256 colors, you must set Connection/Data Terminal-type string to "xterm-256color" and in Window/Colours check the top three boxes, otherwise only 16 colors are displayed. If you are using FreeBSD, you will need to add export TERM=xterm-256color to your .bashrc file to show 256 colors.

If you are using the powerline status bar, you will most likely need a patched font. The Consolas ttf from powerline-fonts is the only one that I have found to be nearly complete and work with putty and Win7. The otf fonts should be fine, although I am not able to test.
-
I have included a few scripts for mysql, mysql-tuning-primer, mysqlreport and mysqltuner.pl to assist in tuning your mysql installation. They are located in the scripts folder.

A how-to from nevermind will help your db run a little faster/easier. It can be damaging if you make a mistake while doing this.
