Deluge init.d script for Fedora

Deluge

The below is a init.d script for fedora based systems to start Deluge in a daemon mode. As I recall I think I got this from the Deluge forum and for all intensive purposes it works well. I didn’t feel much like reinventing the wheel but at least I can post what I am using.

To get this to work properly you will have to edit line 14 and line 23. As far as I can tell with a quick look that is all you will have to do to get things working in a daemon mode.

To follow the rest of this guide I have named the init script “deluge_daemon.sh”.

1. chmod a+x  deluge_daemon.sh
2. su -c ‘chown root:root deluge_daemon ‘
3. su -c ‘cp deluge_daemon.sh /etc/init.d/’
4. su -c ‘chkconfig deluge_daemon –level 345 on’deluge_daemon –level 345 on’

.

After all that is set you can give it a shot and run su -c ‘service deluge_daemon start’ and everything should have started up and given you the green OK symbols. If it didn’t by chance then you missed a step from above
