If you kill rtorrent, does screen die as well? If so, then it's probably
fine to watch the screen pid.
You could write the pid if it starts correctly e.g.
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "Error: rtorrent failed to start."
exit 1
else
ps -e | grep [r]torrent | awk '$1 ~ /[0-9]+/ {print $1}' >
/var/run/torrent.pid
fi
