I'm running ddclient in daemon mode to automatically update the dyndns.org entry when my IP address changes (my ISP forces a disconnect every 24 hours...).
Problem is, the ddclient daemon keeps dying off sporadically (once in a month, on average, but irregularly). It just disappears -- no corresponding error messages in syslog. When I restart it manually, everything is fine again -- for the next few weeks... Is anyone else observing this phenomenon -- or even better, has figured out what the issue is? What other tools are people using for this? My config is rather trivial: # grep -v ^# /etc/ddclient.conf daemon=300 # check every 300 seconds syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid # record PID in file. fw-login=admin # FW login fw-password=my-router-passw # FW password use=fw fw=192.168.1.1/doc/digisdn.sht fw-skip='WAN IP Address' protocol=dyndns2 # default protocol server=members.dyndns.org # default server login=my-login # default login password=my-dyndns-passw # default password citadelle.homelinux.net Any ideas how to debug this, apart from running strace for weeks? (BTW, is there a way to run strace in "circular buffer mode"? -- like you can set things up under AIX, i.e. not output any tracing info except when explicitly requested, in which case a trace of the last N seconds (buffer content) in dumped out to file.) This is ddclient 3.6.2-2 on a woody machine. I'm about to set up a watchdog to restart ddclient automatically. And, maybe, another meta-watchdog to make sure the watchdog is still running... ;) Almut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
