Description Alexander Stein 2008-02-17 20:40:12 UTC
I've started btpd in a different directory (via '-d $dir') to store data and files. Because of that every 'btcli' command needs the '-d $dir' option to find the correct files. In /etc/conf.d/btpd i can config this option in the variable $BTPDEXTRARGS. But during shutdown only the command 'su ${BTPDUSER} -c "btcli  kill"' is executed, without any options which will not work.
The stopping function should take care of the possible directory option during shutdown. I tried by inserting the option manually which works. May be an extra variable for a non-standard directory can be used for that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install btpd
2. Set the option '-d $dir' into $BTPDEXTRARGS in /etc/conf.d/btpd
3. Start & Stop btpd

Actual Results:  
/etc/init.d/btpd stop [ ok ]
 * Stopping BitTorrent Protocol Daemon ...
btcli: cannot open connection to btpd in /home/alex/.btpd: No such file or directory

Expected Results:  
/etc/init.d/btpd stop [ ok ]
 * Stopping BitTorrent Protocol Daemon ...

Is there an estimation of how many more Easter vacations you'll need? ;) :D

Upstream looks dead for a long time and there are plenty of bittorrent clients in the tree... maybe this should be treecleaned
