Start deluge on boot

Post by Kieran »

Hello again,

I'm trying to execute "deluged" (nothing else) on boot but I have no idea why literally nothing is working.
/etc/rc.local kinda worked but I couldn't connect to the server even though I manually executed "deluged" in the console until I did "pkill deluged && deluged".

I also tried this: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/User ... buntuInitd but this didn't work at all.
Help?

It can't find systemctl. What package includes that command?
If I try to do "apt-get install systemd-sysv" it tells me not to continue unless I know exactly what I'm doing because something is about to happen that is not good. It wants to remove sysvinit aswell

Okay I found another way. I didn't know crontab was able to start things on boot so all I did was "crontab -e" and add the line "@reboot /usr/bin/deluged"

I guess your OS is not yet under systemd, it depends of you update level and distribution. I'm glad you sort it out ;).
