Transmission-Daemon: Remove Completed Torrents

removecompletedtorrents.sh

#!/bin/sh
# script to check for complete torrents in transmission folder, then stop and move them
# either hard-code the MOVEDIR variable here…
MOVEDIR=/home/mjdescy/media # the folder to move completed downloads to
# …or set MOVEDIR using the first command-line argument
# MOVEDIR=%1

# use transmission-remote to get torrent list from transmission-remote list
# use sed to delete first / last line of output, and remove leading spaces
# use cut to get first field from each line
TORRENTLIST=`transmission-remote –list | sed -e ’1d;$d;s/^ *//’ | cut –only-delimited –delimiter= ” ” –fields=1`
# for each torrent in the list
for TORRENTID in $TORRENTLIST

  # check if torrent download is completed

  # check torrent’s current state is “Stopped”, “Finished”, or “Idle”
  STATE_STOPPED=`transmission-remote –torrent $TORRENTID –info | grep “State: Stopped\|Finished\|Idle”`
  # if the torrent is “Stopped”, “Finished”, or “Idle” after downloading 100%…
  if [ "$DL_COMPLETED" != "" ] && [ "$STATE_STOPPED" != "" ]; then
    # move the files and remove the torrent from Transmission
    echo “Torrent #$TORRENTID is completed.”
    echo “Moving downloaded file(s) to $MOVEDIR.”
    transmission-remote –torrent $TORRENTID –move $MOVEDIR
    echo “Removing torrent from list.”
    transmission-remote –torrent $TORRENTID –remove
  else
    echo “Torrent #$TORRENTID is not completed. Ignoring.”
  fi
  echo “* * * * * Operations on torrent ID $TORRENTID completed. * * * * *”
done

The torrent files don't get moved to that folder on mine, but since I mostly had magnet links, it doesn't matter to me as long as it keeps removing from the torrent list.

Simple bash one-liner:

while read tid percent rest; do [[ "$percent" == "100%" ]] && transmission-remote -t ${tid/*/} -r; done < <(transmission-remote -l)

And where should we set this line? Just an sh running on a crontab? For instance I have this workflow where I run a watch command on transmission-remote -l which is showing me all the torrents and their progress. How can I fit this shell command you provide us? Can you kindly tell us? :)
