Feature request: Suport systemd notify about rtorrent

[kannibalox]

Not to say that having it directly in the code wouldn't be useful, but you can already accomplish your goal with the available event bindings and systemd-notify:

# Startup
method.set_key = event.system.startup_done, notify_systemd, "execute=/bin/systemd-notify,--ready,--status,(cat,SESSION=,(session.name)),--pid,(system.pid)"
# Shutdown
method.set_key = event.system.shutdown, notify_systemd, "execute=/bin/systemd-notify,STOPPING=1"

Great idea.

I don't want the binary to link against libsystemd, though. Is there a standalone solution?

@kannibalox thanks I wasn’t aware of that. Should have looked at the configuration options more closely.

@jesec I could probably make this work by opening a Unix datagtam socket and sending the data myself.

Is there a reason you’re opposed to linking against systemd?

Not all systems have systemd or libsystemd. You may find this useful: https://github.com/lnicola/sd-notify.

i knew this project is not in Rust, but you can check out the logic.
