Pyrocore's interactive search is not working when rtorrent started from cron on reboot #1295

Open trancephorm opened 2 months ago

trancephorm commented 2 months ago

I know it's a very long shot, but pyrocore's feature for interactive search in rtorrent cli interface obtained with ctrl-x, "s=<search term", works normally when rtorrent is started after login, in "screen" terminal multiplexer, while if started by cron like this: @reboot sleep 20 && screen -d -m -S myscreen rtorrent, it does not react to s= command at all.

Cron job is launched under the normal user, the same one which is used for login and then manual start of rtorrent.

I guess it's something about environment at the time of startup, but I don't really have a clue what it can be, because the environment should be the same. Someone has an idea?

Do regular rtcontrol commands work in this state? As long as the SCGI socket/port is available and responding properly, it's unlikely to be a rtorrent bug.

I solved it: in .rtorrent.rc, I added a full path rtcontrol call, although it's not quite clear to me why it's not already in the path, but it seems like it's not in the time of booting.
