I created startup script rtorrent and changed user="<username>" to my user user="madone".
Change`d ownership of the file to root and made it executable.
Script is working start/stop/restart when i run it in terminal but wont run on startup.
When i do
Code:
update-rc.d rtorrent defaultsi get this in terminal
Code:
#update-rc.d rtorrent defaults
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
insserv: warning: script 'rtorrent' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: There is a loop between service munin-node and rtorrent if stopped
insserv: loop involving service rtorrent at depth 2
insserv: loop involving service munin-node at depth 1
insserv: Stopping rtorrent depends on munin-node and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header

# This script depends on screen.
# For the stop function to work, you must set an
# explicit session directory using ABSOLUTE paths (no, ~ is not absolute) in your rtorrent.rc.
# If you typically just start rtorrent with just "rtorrent" on the
# command line, all you need to change is the "user" option.
# Attach to the screen session as your user with
# "screen -dr rtorrent". Change "rtorrent" with srnname option.

# You can specify your configuration in a different file
# (so that it is saved with upgrades, saved in your home directory,
# or whateve reason you want to)
# by commenting out/deleting the configuration lines and placing them
# in a text file (say /home/user/.rtorrent.init.conf) exactly as you would
# have written them here (you can leave the comments if you desire
# and then uncommenting the following line correcting the path/filename
# for the one you used. note the space after the ".".
# . /etc/rtorrent.init.conf

#Do not put a space on either side of the equal signs e.g.
# user = user
# will not work
# system user to run as
user="madone"

# the system group to run as, not implemented, see d_start for beginning implementation
# group=`id -ng "$user"`

# the full path to the filename where you store your rtorrent configuration

Hi, Kristijan.
There were some changes in the way the startup scripts are read (and created) by the system in recent Debian based distributions. The main change is dependencies, which gives the new Ubuntu and Debian distros their fast boot up. Now, to solve your problem creating the script, add these lines to the beggining, just after the #!/bin/bash line:
Code:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: rtorrent_autostart
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog $netdaemons
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: rtorrent script using screen(1)
# Description: rtorrent script using screen(1) to keep torrents working without the user logging in
### END INIT INFO
Then you have to update the symlinks using the command:
Code:
update-rc.d rtorrent defaultsReplace rtorrent with the name of your script. You may also modify the Description sections at your will. Also, the Required-Start section may contain more elements than needed, I added the last two of them just in case. I haven't tested this script thoroughly, but it seems to work with
Code:
service rtorrent start/stopand
Code:
/etc/init.d/rtorrent start/stop.
Thank you for rising the topic.
