# For the stop function to work, you must set an
# explicit session directory using ABSOLUTE paths (no, ~ is not absolute) in your rtorrent.rc.
# If you typically just start rtorrent with just «rtorrent» on the
# command line, all you need to change is the «user» option.
# Attach to the screen session as your user with
# «screen -dr rtorrent». Change «rtorrent» with srnname option.
