[SOLVED] running rtorrent as "nobody", how do i do that?

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I am running rtorrent on Unraid 5.0 beta 14.

 

One issue I am having is all new torrents have the permission setup as "root:root" which doesn't allow me to delete them unless I run the script to reset all the files to nobody:users

 

How can I run rtorrent as nobody so all new files are created properly?

look in the any of my unMenu packages (SAB, SickBeard, Couchpotato, etc)  Look for the "su nobody -c" line in the .conf file.

Thanks, i tried that but i get an error;

 

"You are no the owner of //.screen"

 

It's picky because it needs to be set as 700 and currently the owner is root. (When i change the owner to nobody, nothing gets created).

 

Seems like this is a screen issue, i have to find out how to allow other users to use it. Any ideas?

 

This is what i typed:

 

su nobody -c '/usr/bin/screen -dmS rtorrent /usr/bin/rtorrent -n -o import=/boot/custom/etc/rtorrent.rc'

silly me, i don't need to run screen as "nobody" just rtorrent.

 

Got it working, had to type in the following;

 

 /usr/bin/screen -dmS rtorrent su -c '/usr/bin/rtorrent -n -o import=/boot/custom/etc/rtorrent.rc' nobody

 

I loaded a torrent and it's coming through properly now. Thanks again.
