Start rtorrent on boot?

Hello,

I'm trying to make a torrent box. So far I've installed rtorrent and wtorrent (web front-end). I haven't been able to get rtorrent to download yet, but that's because I haven't really configured it.

Is there anyway to start rtorrent as a daemon upon boot? The way it's set up now, after the server boots, I have to manually log into my user and start it with `rtorrent`. I'd like for rtorrent to start automatically. Also, is there an global config file for rtorrent? As far as I know, it takes it's configuration from ~/.rtorrent.rc, which is user specific (which will get in the way if the rtorrent starts as a daemon, ie: non-user)

Thanks

Re: Start rtorrent on boot?

I'd add

su username -c "screen rtorrent"

to rc.local.
