Hello,
I have installed ddclient in Manjaro 0.8.9 Cinnamon.
It is set to run as daemon - it starts appropriately as "systemctl status ddclient" returns:
If I force a restart of ddclient with "systemctl restart ddclient" my ip address is updated immediately, so I believe my conf file is correct.
Any ideas of why this is happening - how can I get ddclient to work automatically?
Below is my conf file with ## replacing personal info:
# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf
#
# /etc/ddclient.conf
daemon=300 # check every 300 seconds
syslog=yes # log update msgs to syslog
mail=root # mail all msgs to root
mail-failure=root # mail failed update msgs to root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid # record PID in file.
ssl=yes # use ssl-support. Works with ssl-library
use=web, web=myip.dnsomatic.com
server=updates.dnsomatic.com
protocol=dyndns2
login=####@#######.###

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This looks more like a issue of the operating system which should start ddclient than ddclient it self. Maybe you can try to contact the packager and find out if he can help. More info for arch can be found on https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/ddclient/
Btw, you wrote that systemctl status ddclient says it's running. I suggest you to check if it's really running by checking the running processes. If it runs you can check your system logging because by default ddclient logs to syslog. It should at least tell you why it doesn't update.
