Stop qBittorrent service via SSH

Is there a way to stop the qBittorrent service via ssh (terminal). I want to create a cron job that stops and starts qbittorrent everyday without my interaction. I know how to stop it via the WebUI, that's not what I am trying to accomplish....

Thanks in Advance!

  • I don't have qBittorrent installed by you should be able to use something like 'systemctl stop qbittorrent' or 'systemctl stop fvapp-qbittorrent' -- you can look at systemctl and find the service name.
  • Thank you so much! Exactly what I needed.

    If anyone else is looking for the service name for qbittorrent on a ReadyNAS (OS6) its fvapp-qbittorrentr6

    The command to stop it would be: systemctl stop fvapp-qbittorrentr6
    The command to start it would be: systemctl start fvapp-qbittorrentr6
    The commend to get service status would be: systemctl status fvapp-qbittorrentr6

    Thanks Again! :D
