It's good to finally have a config file
That leaves me one last thing to solve... I would like to keep my torrents in an external drive, say '/media/EHD'. When I change the config file to point to '/media/EHD/torrents', transmission can correctly find it and start downloading. However, when I restart the server, transmission daemon acts quickly to check this location, cannot find this folder (as auto mount has not kicked-in yet), and then simply creates it. Because the folder name is taken, the auto mount utility mounts the HD to '/media/EHD_' instead... I end up with '/media/EHD' and '/media/EHD_' (!!!)
Is there a way to prioritize the init scripts, to make sure that Transmission daemon is initiated only after the drives are mounted?
Thanks!
(update: I could implement this functionality by placing a conditional in transmission's init script, which checks for the existence of the folder in a loop and continue only after it finds it. But I am sure there is a more elegant solution!)
