Wow, this really is perfect!
I did what you told me and it works like a charm :-)
Thank you!
Indeed, it's a great pleasure for me to share this script! When I wrote it, I was
particularly proud and then I polished it with the idea in mind to be able to share it
quickly. Mission done today!
A friend of mine is using it since the beginning too and is really happy with it.
Just for curiosity:
When updating-rc.d I get the message "update-rc.d: using dependency based
boot sequencing".
I suppose this is just an information?
Just want to be sure as I've never added/changed init.d scripts...
Yes this message is just telling you that now it uses upstart instead of the old system V
approach (executing scripts as are presented alphabetically).
Now, upstart uses dependencies: in my script, you'll find a dependency on network, that
is, my script will be started after the network is started. Moreover, my script provide a
"service" that is basically called "rtorrent".
But now, it's important to mention that if you wish to use this script for *more than one
users* on the same machine, you'll have a dependency-name conflict since all of the
rtorrent-user.* scripts will provide the same "service" name (aka "rtorrent"). So you
just have to edit the scripts and change "rtorrent" to "rtorrent.<username>".
Just to push things a little more: I have a generic alias (in ~/.bashrc) called 'srt' that
completes the "suite":
alias='screen -x rtorrent.${USER}'
