Description

Please provide the following information.

  • Transmssion version: 2.94 (installed from Debian apt)
  • Tr Web Control version: not installed yet
  • Browser name & version：Mozilla Firefox 76
  • Problem description: The script for installation has a option to detect if there is a running instance of the transmission-daemon, in my case this option failed to detect the process which is already running.

Choose option 5. Check if Transmission is started. :

<< 2020-05-27 15:36:26 >> Detecting the Transmission process...
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
<< 2020-05-27 15:36:26 >> No Transmission was found in the system process. Please confirm that it is started.
Do you want to try to start transmission-daemon? (y/n)

But ps -aux|grep transmission-daemon outputs :

debian-+ 31499  1.7  1.2  93828 12528 ?        Ssl  15:19   0:19 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --log-error

Research direction
Examine the installation script (e.g., 'install.sh') for the process detection logic. The script likely uses `ps` and `grep` but fails to match the actual process name. Reproduce and fix by using `pgrep` or adjusting the grep pattern. Check for any existing work on this issue.
