rTorrent crashes when run from systemd about rtorrent-ps HOT 7 CLOSED

@chros73: It works fine with your init script. Now I am really curious about the reasons why it works with an init script and it fails with a systemd service file.

Anyway, I will leave it working with an init script that I will write based on your working example. Thanks.

/home/rtorrent/bin/rtorrent is a symlink to /opt/rtorrent/bin/rtorrent

Small correction: it should be this (and you don't need your symlink):
ln -s /opt/rtorrent/bin/rtorrent /usr/local/bin

Environment=TERM=xterm-256color

Do NOT set TERM env var! See why.

Any clue on how to try to solve this issue?

I use a normal init script on Ubuntu 14.04 instead of systemd and it works fine, try it out, maybe it solves your problem.

@chros73: Thanks for your answer and tips.

The link is really irrelevant, I wrote about it just to make the error message more clear.

About the TERM variable, I also have the tmux setting for 256 colors in .tmux.conf. I have just checked it and you are right, exporting TERM is not needed, so I have deleted the Environment line even if I have not experimented any problems with the rendering of rTorrent.

Many thanks for the init script. I will adapt and check it as soon as possible and let you know the results.

I haven't used systemd services, so I don't have a clue: we can script anything with the init script method. :)

It crashes for me too. Same scenario.

My system runs for a while, then periodically crashes.

Closing, since things like this are upstream problems unless shown otherwise.
