...

In torrjail:

change to user stefan:

	su stefan

try attaching to the tmux session:

	tmux a

if this fails create a new tmux session:

	tmux -2u new -n rTorrent -s rtorrent "~/rtorrent/start; exec sh"

exit from tmux with ctrl-b d

general setup:

install rtorrent from packages
make rtorrent subdirectory in ~stefan
create entry in crontab to link Samba to rtorrent:

	# mount for torrent on Samba server
	@reboot	 root	/sbin/mount_nullfs /usr/jails/sambajail/server/torrent /usr/jails/torrjail/home/stefan/rtorrent/

copy startup script to rtorrent directory and make it executable
copy configuration to ~stefan
subdirectories are created automatically on run
