>From 68b6c85a4ed90104859a9213b6d53bb2a3782cf7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Teemu Ikonen <tpiko...@gmail.com> Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:58:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Call start-stop-daemon with --exec instead of --name. ddclient rewrites its process name during operation as a kind of status update, so running start-stop-daemon with --name matching in the init script does not work (without patching ddclient to stop messing with its name). Use --exec with the perl interpreter path instead, which together with --pidfile gives a good chance that unrelated processes are not killed by the init script.
