hi @ll

i've found a good method to daemonize azureus AND to kill him properly.
All you need is this in your gentoo.config:

Code:

# User Interface options:
# console   - console based
# swt       - swt (GUI) based
UI="console"

# Options you want to pass to the java binary
JAVA_OPTIONS="\$(echo $$ > ~/.azureus/azureus_daemon.pid)"  # fit the pidfile location to your needs


and here comes the hack:
the content of $JAVA_OPTIONS is carried through all the scripts like /usr/bin/azureus and /usr/share/java-config-2/launcher/launcher.bash
until it ends in the eval command (that's evil huh?) at the end of launcher.bash

thats's it, now you have the pid of the java process in order to kill him later.

to make life easier use this init script:

Code:

#!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2007 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $

opts="start stop restart"

USER="p2p"

depend() {
        need net
}

start() {
        ebegin "Starting Azureus in daemon mode"
        (start-stop-daemon --start -c "${USER}" -g "users" -N 19 -x /usr/bin/azureus_daemon -- "${USER}") &> /var/log/azureus_daemon.log &
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        AZ_PID=$(cat /home/${USER}/.azureus/azureus_daemon.pid)
        ebegin "Stopping Azureus at pid $AZ_PID"
        start-stop-daemon --oknodo --stop -p "/home/${USER}/.azureus/azureus_daemon.pid"
        eend $?
}

restart() {
        svc_stop
        svc_start
}


EDIT: to run him as user $USER you need this script, too: /usr/bin/azureus_daemon
Code:

#!/bin/bash

HOME="/home/$1"
USER="$1"
/usr/bin/azureus &


after starting him in daemon mode you can access him through http://azureus.sourceforge.net/plugin_details.php?plugin=webui or http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/AzSMRC for example ;)

This is really nice, thanks! I might even get round to installing Azureus now ;) Dunno, haven't tried KTorrent either, any experience?

I linked to this from my fave tips, as it's a great example of an initscript (which people are always asking about in IRC..)

Ta :)

Hi,

i tried this, but if i start azureus it breaks with this error:

Quote:
using /home/azureus/.azureus/gentoo.config
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: $(echo
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: $(echo
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:276)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)


But when i delete the line with the "JAVA_OPTIONS=" in gentoo.config it starts normal ... Do i have to change something in my configs?

I used this HowTo: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Azureus#Install_Azureus (with different directorys)

EDIT: found the solution, theres a fault. The JAVA_OPTIONS has to be:
Quote:
JAVA_OPTIONS="$(echo $$ > ~/.azureus/azureus_daemon.pid)"

I love KTorrent. If you ever used windows. It's just close to uTorrent. And that was my favourite. Azureus is great but a real RAM hog no matter how you throw the dice.
