Re: Check process inside screen terminal

[Russell Simpkins]

If you kill rtorrent, does screen die as well? If so, then it's probably fine to watch the screen pid.

You could write the pid if it starts correctly e.g. 

if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then

    echo "Error: rtorrent failed to start."

    exit 1

else

    ps -e | grep [r]torrent | awk '$1 ~ /[0-9]+/ {print $1}' > /var/run/torrent.pid

fi

Hello all,

I have a little server running some services that I monitor with
Monit, it really work great.

Now I have rtorrent service running, but the problem is that it is
executed inside screen terminal:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mjsilva/rtorrent-screen-debian-init-script/master/rtorrent

So I have this:

# ps -e | grep rtorrent
22292 pts/1    00:44:39 rtorrent

# ps -e | grep screen
22291 ?        00:00:06 screen

# cat /var/run/rtorrent.pid
22291

So the PID is associated with screen, not with rtorrent.

How could I manage this situation?

I will really appreciate your help, best regards.
