I have /etc/init.d/transmission-rss as:

NAME=transmission-rss
USER=pi
DAEMON=/home/$USER/.gem/ruby/2.5.1/bin/$NAME
STOP_TIMEOUT=30
[ -x $DAEMON ] || exit 0

        start-stop-daemon --start \
                --chuid $USER \
                --exec $DAEMON || log_end_msg $?
        log_end_msg 0
}
case "$1" in
    start)
        start_daemon
        ;;
    stop)
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet \
            --exec $DAEMON --retry $STOP_TIMEOUT \
            --oknodo || log_end_msg $?
        log_end_msg 0
        ;;
    reload)
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet \
            --exec $DAEMON \

        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet \
            --exec $DAEMON --retry $STOP_TIMEOUT \
            --oknodo || log_end_msg $?
        start_daemon
        ;;
    status)
        status_of_proc "$DAEMON" "$NAME" && exit 0 || exit $?
        ;;

exit 0

Tried with the config give on readme, also, no success. Either with StartExec set to:

• /home/pi/.gem/ruby/2.5.1/bin/transmission-rss -f
• /home/pi/.rubies/ruby-2.5.1/bin/ruby /home/pi/.gem/ruby/2.5.1/bin/transmission-rss -f

Before I forget, I can run it from bash, like just running transmission-rss -f

The init Script does not seem to run in your OS. Which Debian release is it? init Scripts are obsolete in recent Debian releases.

Please try the systemd unit in contrib/transmission-rss.service.

Also see the daemonized startup documentation in the README file: https://github.com/nning/transmission-rss/blob/master/README.md#daemonized-startup

Thanks for reaching out!

Please add a log of the error that happens with the systemd unit.

Hey.. I'll try that. I'm running raspibian

[filipebarcos]

Also tried that, it gives me the same error as before.

I guess the problem is that the gem bin is not present on /usr/local/bin and even if I point to where is installed, it has a hard time find it (Gem::GemNotFoundException)

I've got similar issue. I've used it like 3 months ago, on same distribution. Now, on clean install it fails. Same PC, same OS, script from April or May.

My system:

Linux raspberry 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
