abduco
A problem with running a long process from a Telnet session or the
webshell package (a command terminal available as a web page - access via
WebIF >> Diagnostics >> Command Line) is that the session inconveniently drops out and terminates any active processes if you take the focus away to do something else. Then you have to reconnect and restart the
youtube-dl command, which then has to do its initial thinking before the download resumes...
The command
abduco is already available to support other long processes such as
fix-disk, and can be used here to create a protected command session which carries on regardless of the terminal session dropping out. So, before launching the main download, use the following to create a protected session:
This creates a protected session called "yt" (call it what you like), and the next command prompt is within that session. Then start your
youtube-dl process as described above. You can now "do other stuff" and the session will carry on regardless - to break out of the session and do other things on the command line, use Ctrl+\.
To come back later, use the same abduco line again. This time, as there already exists a session called "yt", the command connects to it rather than starting a new one.
To close the session (from within the session), type "exit".
To inspect open abduco sessions, type "abduco" (with no other parameters).
That would be the obvious way of uploading an unallowed file type.
