Thanks, I edit the start init script and now I have the PID file:

# ps -e | grep transmission
22431 ?        00:00:00 transmission-da

# cat /var/run/transmission.pid
22431

But the problem is still there, The process is running but the service
is not responding to the telnet on the first boot:

# telnet localhost 9091
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I need to check service port to know if the service is well. Is
possible to use a telnet to a specific port?

Kind regards.
