It is my understanding that start-stop-daemon is not available in Fedora. If it is, I am unsure where it is located or how to install it. Thoughts?
Code: Select all
/etc/init.d/deluged: line 13: start-stop-daemon: command not found
ah my bad, have you tried "man daemon"?

It turns out the daemon functionality is unfortunately limited in its abilities. I ended up mimicking some of its functionality, adding the force background myself with the following lines:
Code: Select all
runuser -s /bin/bash - deluge -c "ulimit -S -c ${DAEMON_COREFILE_LIMIT:-0} >/dev/null 2>&1 ; deluge -u web -c /storage/fileshare/Torrents/.deluge/ -l /storage/fileshare/Torrents/.deluge/deluge-web.log &"
[ "$?" -eq 0 ] && success $"$base startup" || failure $"$base startup"
This seems to work, starting both deluged and deluge -u web as the user "deluge".
Here is the entire fedora script, in case others are interested. Its not the best, but it gets the job done:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 345 85 15
# description: deluged is the Deulge bit torrent daemon. It performs downloads and manages torrents. Connect to the service through the configured port.
# Script to manage start and stopping the fedora service
# processname: deluged
# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions
