There is a script which can be used to run rTorrent on system startup suggested here: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentCommonTasks
So, I have slightly modified it and put in /opt/etc/init.d/S99rtorrent
It starts rtorrent as user p2p with configuration file located in /opt/etc/rtorrent.conf and working directory /opt/share/torrent
PHP Code:# !/bin/sh
#############
###<Notes>###
#############
# This script depends on screen.
# For the stop function to work, you must set an
# explicit session directory using absolute paths in your rtorrent.rc.
# If you typically just start rtorrent with just "rtorrent" on the
# command line, all you need to change is the "user" option.
# Attach to the screen session as your user with
# "screen -dr rtorrent". Change "rtorrent" with srnname option.

##Start Configuration##
#######################
# You can specify your configuration in a different file
# (so that it is saved with upgrades, saved in your home directory,
# or whateve reason you want to)
# by commenting out/deleting the configuration lines and placing them
# in a text file (say /home/user/.rtorrent.init.conf) exactly as you would
# have written them here (you can leave the comments if you desire
# and then uncommenting the following line correcting the path/filename
# for the one you used. note the space after the ".".
# . /etc/rtorrent.init.conf
#Do not put a space on either side of the equal signs e.g.
# user = user
# will not work
# system user to run as (can only use one)
user="p2p"
# the full path to the filename where you store your rtorrent configuration
# must keep parentheses around the entire statement, quotations around each config file
#config=("/home/${user}/.rtorrent.rc")
config=("/opt/etc/rtorrent.conf")
# Examples:
# config=("/home/user/.rtorrent.rc")
# config=("/home/user/.rtorrent.rc" "/mnt/some/drive/.rtorrent2.rc")
# config=("/home/user/.rtorrent.rc"
# "/mnt/some/drive/.rtorrent2.rc"
# "/mnt/another/drive/.rtorrent3.rc")
# set of options to run with each instance, separated by a new line
# must keep parentheses around the entire statement
#if no special options, specify with: ""
options=("-n -o import=/opt/etc/rtorrent.conf")
# Examples:
# starts one instance, sourcing both .rtorrent.rc and .rtorrent2.rc
# options=("-o import=~/.rtorrent2.rc")
# starts two instances, ignoring .rtorrent.rc for both, and using
# .rtorrent2.rc for the first, and .rtorrent3.rc for the second
# we do not check for valid options
# options=("-n -o import=~/.rtorrent2.rc" "-n -o import=~/rtorrent3.rc")
# default directory for screen, needs to be an absolute path
#base="/home/${user}"
base="/opt/share/torrent"
# name of screen session
srnname="rtorrent"
