# run_qbit_manage_commands.sh
#
# Sends a POST request to qBit Manage with a given torrent hash to trigger
# actions like "tag_update" and "share_limits".
#
# USAGE:
#   ./run_qbit_manage_commands.sh <torrent_hash>
#
# EXAMPLE:
#   ./run_qbit_manage_commands.sh 123ABC456DEF789XYZ
#
# NOTES:
# - Make sure this script is executable: chmod +x run_qbit_manage_commands.sh
# - The torrent hash is typically passed in automatically by qBittorrent via the "%I" variable.
# - All output is logged to run_qbit_manage_commands.log in the same directory as the script,
#   and also printed to stdout.
