setting up transmission completed torrent script

Tried to get transmission to call a script on download completion but it wasn't working. Checked /var/log/syslog and saw that the script was blocked by apparmor, specifically the /usr/lib/firefox/firefox{,*[^s][^h]}//sanitized_helper profile.

Running sudo apparmor_status will also show which profiles have been triggered and by which processes.

Turns out the problem exists when transmission is launched by clicking a link in firefox. If I start transmission from the command line, the script runs successfully!

Using transmission 2.51 (13280) and Ubuntu Precise 12.04.1 LTS
