Scratch that, it works fine with 'notify', as per https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/4503 but I had to set -g|--config-dir in ExecStart, otherwise the daemon would segfault (probably because /home/debian-transmission doesn't exist so the daemon can't write its files anywhere). Reading through the upstream bug log I have a few suggestions in regards to fixing this bug: 1. Create the user debian-transmission with $HOME /var/lib/transmission 2. Don't hardcode -g|--config-dir in the start parameters and let the daemon use the default $HOME/.config/transmission which will now translate to /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission As a bonus this would also allow getting rid of the /etc/default/transmission file ;) 3. In order to prevent torrents being downloaded to /var by default ship a settings.json with "download-dir": "/home/debian-transmission/", (or whatever) What do you think?
