Next, @ghd and to everyone has found issues on connecting to the screen session
> I can’t get the script to work to view the rtorrent screen session. it just returns
> “cannot open your terminal ‘/dev/tty1′ – please check. any ideas?

Basically i found some issues (message: can’t open your terminal /dev/pts/x)
when trying to connect to rtorrent screen session via ssh using a different login other than rtorrent user and root.
Since i disabled root login via ssh I edited /sbin/rt script in order to let other users to connect to rtorrent screen session (as a result i always connect remotely using putty and never with wtorrent… much better!). Anyway this is the /sbin/rt:
#!/bin/bash
su -c ‘chmod a+rw /dev/pts/`ls /dev/pts -l | grep “root tty” | grep -o [0-9]$`’ root
su -c “screen -R” rt

Basically I wrapped the first cmd into a su root session. Then I must provide both root and rtorrent user password.

Hope this helps!
