 |
|
Hi!
When manually executing ddclient from shell it runs as daemon and periodically updates the IP as it's supposed to do.
However when executng the ddclient init.d script the IP is updated once and then the ddclient process is gone.
What's wrong here? I did emerge 3.7.3-r1.

When you start it by hand, are you using the same parameters that the init script uses. For example, are you requesting the same pid file? You might check that /var/run/ddclient/ddclient.pid does not exist before trying the init script.
The pid file is defined in /etc/conf.d/ddclient.conf
Lastly, is there anything interesting in the logs? Try uping the verbosity of the logging for clues.
