How can I configure amulecmd to schedule actions? (Linux)

You have to configure such jobs with crontab. Let's do it by example:

bash ~# crontab -e
00 6   * * * amulecmd -c "set bwlimit up 30"
00 22 * * * amulecmd -c "set bwlimit up 0"

Will set your download bandwith limit to 30 kb/s on 6:00am and unlimited on 10:00pm. For more possibilities see also aMuleCMD.


I cannot connect to aMuled. It seems aMuled does not create the listening port for connecting to it :-\?

You have probably not enabled External Connections in ~/.aMule/amule.conf

NOTE: You can create the value for ECPassword like that:

 echo -n yourpasswordhere | md5sum | cut -d ' ' -f 1


How can I receive a mail every day with a summary of the files amuled downloaded ?

First, create this script and verify that it works properly. Then you can add it to your cron in the same way as shown above. Many cron-daemons will mail output of a script to your user. You can also use utilities like sendmail to mail the output of the script.
