I used debconf to configure ddclient and did not change the delay, which
defaults to one minute. There is no "daemon=1m" line
in /etc/ddclient.conf, but /etc/init.d/ddclient runs ddclient with this
command line, which should do it:
/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/ddclient -daemon 1m -syslog
That not withstanding, ddclient constantly uses the CPU. Really strange!
I tried adding the "daemon=1m" line to the configuration file and
restarted ddclient, but to no avail.
However, thanks to Ben Bettin I did find out that ez-ipupdate does
support using custom accounts with DynDNS.org. That solved my problem,
but it would be nice to find out what causes the high CPU usage
nevertheless.
Best regards,
Andreas
