Thanks for your reply.

I know that an option is to write an init.d script that meets the LSB 
requirements. But this seems very complicated to me and therefore I 
wanted to know if somebody else uses rtorrent in a seedbox.

I accidentally found the option in the rtorrent.rc file to automatically 
run some programs on screen startup by adding 'screen -t rtorrent 
rtorrent' to the end of my ~/.rtorrent.rc (which is actually a copy of /
etc/screenrc).

Now when I start screen it puts me automatically into a rtorrent session.
Unfortunately screen doesn't start a (detached) session when the system 
boots.

I will go for the hard way and create the script if there isn't anybody 
who already has the solution to that ;-)
