Subject: 25.3; Sometimes transmission-daemon won't start from Eshell
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2018 14:32:12 +0100

Sometimes, running the following in Eshell

    $ transmission-daemon

will not start the transmission daemon.  If it fails, then running the
command a second time usually works.

I've never had this problem using other shells.

I have no clue how to investigate further beside running

    $ transmission --log-debug

every time until it happens again.

Are you still seeing this?

Could you please provide the output of that command?

You could also try running something like:

   strace transmission-daemon

And see if you can find anything that stands out as different between a
failing and a successful run.

Also, I can't reproduce this here.  If I don't hear back from you in a
couple of weeks, I'll just close this as unreproducible.

Best regards,

Possibly.  Pierre, could you also try if evaluating this solves your
problem and report back?

(add-to-list 'eshell-needs-pipe "transmission-daemon")

Just tried today, running `transmission-daemon' 5 times in a row in
Eshell: it started normally.
