The above script gives me the following error when I run it (using Debian)

Code: Select all

/etc/default/deluge-daemon: line 9: --umask: command not found

I really appreciate all of the help guys. Feeling like a dummy now since I cant get this going

Not sure how you got that error, did you modify the script or use the updated version?

Make sure that --umask is part of the start-stop-daemon command options.

Code: Select all

start-stop-daemon --start --background --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE1 --exec $DAEMON1 \
      --umask $UMASK --chuid $DELUGED_USER --user $DELUGED_USER --test > /dev/null

From the console check that your debian start-stop-daemon command has the umask option:

Code: Select all

start-stop-daemon --help | grep umask

It will return "-k|--umask <mask> change the umask to <mask> before starting" on unbuntu

I checked it and it returned

Code: Select all

 -k|--umask <mask>             change the umask to <mask> before starting

Re-reading your post it actually seems to suggest --umask has been added to /etc/default/deluge-daemon file, can you check?

[chris86wm]

That was it! It seems like in my attempt to figure things out, i added some umask stuff to the /etc/default/deluge-daemon file. Man i feel silly.

Thanks for all of your help and patience guys!

Could it be that there is a slight error in the init script for ubuntu?
umask didn't work properly until I changed the line

Code: Select all

UMASK=22

into

Code: Select all

UMASK=022

I would have assumed that it treated the umask as always being octal but maybe it was treating 22 as decimal due to it not having the leading zero.
I've modified the init script to have a leading zero.

Thanks for telling us.
