init.d script for openSUSE

[primus]

Edit: InitScript for OpenSUSE

Hi guys,

I'm loving the Deluge torrent client, especially the polished AJAX webui. Unfortunately I'm having difficulties running it as a daemon. With the daemon running from an SSH window I can connect to the web UI fine but if I close the SSH client the daemon (obviously) stops and the web UI stops responding.

I would like to be able to invoke Deluge from an /etc/init.d script so I can set it up to run at startup on my headless openSUSE server.

I am pretty new to linux, and even though I've tried to follow the instructions in the init.d/skeleton file I'm not getting any closer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards

There are init scripts here: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/InitScript
however there doesn't seem to be one for openSuse

The daemon shouldn't stop when you close the ssh session as you should be running it in the background.
The web ui however will stop. You could run it in screen as a quick fix.

If you do decide to write an init script for openSuse, feel free to add it to the wiki page

[primus]

Yes, you are correct. The daemon keep running when closing the SSH session, but the webui stops.

I'll try fiddling with screen, but I would really appreciate if someone stepped up and wrote a init script for openSUSE as I've got no clue how to do it

Hello primus,

I need this init.d script too, so I wrote it, but there is a problem still no resolved... the process user is root, I've tried to resolve this issue but I can't.

Name it as deluged and put it into init.d, let execute as a application and add it to runlevels 3 5 or runlevel you want... I have wicd instead of networkmanager and when openSuse starts, no need to log as user and deluged starts (as root).

I'm newbie to this, and could be it can be done better (as my english)... if someone can help us, wellcome!!!

And, the same script modified to start deluge-web, name it deluge-webd and the same as the other one. You'll have the deluge web console.

Ah, one thing change the user at this line by yours:

DELUGED_WEB_SYSCONFIG=/home/jose/.config/deluge/web.conf

and too in the deluged script:

DELUGED_SYSCONFIG=/home/jose/.config/deluge/core.conf

[johnnyg]

I've added it to the InitScript page: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/User ... InitScript
Could someone check that it works?
I added the -u option so you should be able to run deluged not as root (you shouldn't run things as root).
I also removed the config stuff as I didn't see the point of it (feel free to add it back in if it's vital).

[jferrandis]

Yesterday I was trying to post when suddenly we suffer an outage... In Dominican Republic is usual, I'm here 2 months and I'm desperate: I need a inversor (yes, I'm not in a 24 hours zone now).

You are OK, the config stuff is not necessary, and also don't point to correct script, I'm not sure where is the correct one but near to discover, I was tracing the python program when outage came. So delete or decomment it.

But, if you add the u option, the daemon don't starts. I can't do it now because I'm in a Mac but when at home I'll edit the post and add the error that console shows if yo make a ' service deluged start'. Until now, best option is to remove the u option and, I know you shouldn't run as root, but until we do not figure out how to do better, it's the only way, without u option you'll have a pretty green message: done.

[Cas]

But, if you add the u option, the daemon don't starts.

Did you change the following line in the init script as this would be required for the -u option to work.

DELUGED_USER=""        # CHANGE THIS

[jferrandis]

if you write on console 'service deluged start' you obtain:

That suggests the daemon user does not have the permissions to create a new config file. As a quick workaround you could specify a different config file location for example deluged -c /home/user/.config/deluge
