The net-p2p/deluge-1.3.6 init script doesn't work. The problem is that "--name deluged" is given as an argument to start-stop-daemon, but the deluge process name is not "deluged". Since start-stop-daemon manages the pid file, there is really no reason to do name based process management; simply removing the "--name deluged" argument fixes the problem making the init script work correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/deluged start Actual Results: "ps aux | grep deluged" shows that deluge isn't running. Expected Results: deluged should be running. # emerge --info !!! Repository 'x-portage' is missing masters attribute in '/usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf' !!!

I was too quick with my original solution; it doesn't work either. The reason is that /usr/bin/deluged forks off another script, which has it's own pid, so when start-stop-daemon creates the pid file it's for /usr/bin/deluged (which immediately terminates) and not what we really want. This is also why the currently in portage init script doesn't work. This is what I'm using now for the "start()" block, and it seems to be working well: start() { checkconfig || return $? if [ "${DELUGED_HOME}" = "" ] ; then DELUGED_USER_HOME=$(getent passwd "${DELUGED_USER%:*}" | cut -d ':' -f 6) else DELUGED_USER_HOME=${DELUGED_HOME} fi ebegin "Starting Deluged" touch /var/run/deluged.pid chown p2p /var/run/deluged.pid start-stop-daemon --start --user "${DELUGED_USER%:*}" -e HOME="${DELUGED_USER_HOME}" \ --exec /usr/bin/deluged -- --pidfile /var/run/deluged.pid "${DELUGED_OPTS}" chown root /var/run/deluged.pid eend $? if [ "${DELUGEUI_START}" = "true" ] ; then ebegin "Starting Deluge" start-stop-daemon --start --background --pidfile \ /var/run/deluge.pid --make-pidfile \ --exec /usr/bin/deluge --user "${DELUGED_USER%:*}" \ -e HOME="${DELUGED_USER_HOME}" -- ${DELUGEUI_OPTS} eend $? fi } This approach has deluge create its own pid file, and start-stop-daemon uses it.
Is this still a problem? I tried today and it worked right fine with the original init file.
Please reopen if you still have problems.
