    rtorrent watch function with quotes not working

    Hi everyone,

    I'm currently trying to set up the rtorrent watch function... here is my rtorrent.rc file:

    HTML Code:
    # Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been
    # deleted.
    schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start= "/home/<myname>/02 watch/*.torrent"
    #schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=
    Once I run rtorrent i get this:

    HTML Code:
    rtorrent: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:31: A string with blanks must be quoted.
    but it's quoted. I also have tried leaving the *.torrent outside of the quotes with no luck.
    Any help would be great. Thanks!

    Erk

    Remove the space before your double quoted string.

    The original file contained:
    schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=./watch/*.torrent

    See the absence of a space directly following the equal sign?
    Hope this fixes it!
