Could add option to systemd of rtorrent to automaticly restart service?
Sometimes my rtorrent shuts down and I need it manualy restart it from ssh.

poking around found this
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1451838#p1451838

It has autorestart on failure in the systemd script

basically you could extend rtorrent.service

for the [Unit]section add

# Restart attempt only 5 times
StartLimitIntervalSec=60
StartLimitBurst=5

for the [Service] section add

Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

rtorrent still dies and I need to restart it manually

I’ve never had rutorrent work. It just crashes and gives errors. I use transmission.
