Bittorrent via command line in zenwalk


Hello again, after a relatively big break.

I am setting up a relatively old system to download stuff off the net. The stuff includes torrents.

I want to boot my zenwalk machine into runlevel 3, somehow daemonise bittorrent and ssh into the machine to check the progress of it.

I have forgotten how to set the machine to boot into runlevel 3 (is it adding '3' to the boot arguements?)

Also, if I start up an application (like rtorrent) over ssh, is there anyway I can get that app to run once I have logged out of the ssh session? I know that daemonising the app would do it, but I'm not sure that rtorrent can be daemonised.

Any help would be appreciated. I want to use this machine to download the slackware 11 dvd torrent

Thanks,
weed

I don't know zenwalk, but in Fedora it's in /etc/inittab

On the second point, have you thought about using at (as in the "at" command). I haven't tried it, but I'd reckon

at NOW

would do it
