transmission-daemon: Start and watch a specific directory for new torrents.
$ transmission-daemon --watch-dir ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine
The command "transmission-daemon --watch-dir ${path-to-directory}" initializes the transmission-daemon program to monitor a specific directory for new torrent files.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "transmission-daemon" is the command used to start the transmission-daemon program, which is a background service for downloading and managing torrents.
- "--watch-dir" is an option or flag that specifies that the daemon should watch a particular directory for new torrent files.
- "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the directory where you want the transmission-daemon to monitor for new torrent files. The path should be the absolute path to the desired directory.
When you execute this command with the proper path, the transmission-daemon will start and continuously scan the specified directory for any new torrent files. Whenever it detects a new torrent file, it will automatically add it to the transmission download queue and start downloading the corresponding content.
