I want trtansmission to ude Another folder as home-foleder.
I have the following in /etc/Environment

export TRANSMISSION_HOME=/home/Transmission

then

Code: Select all

[root@seedbox Transmission]# source /etc/environment
[root@seedbox Transmission]# echo $TRANSMISSION_HOME
/home/Transmission

Now, starting up transmission, I get this in "Messages"

Code: Select all
