The following occurs with ddclient version 3.7.1 on Ubuntu 7.04. The commands
are executed as root.
I set up ddclient and at first couldn't tell if it was doing anything. I would
run:
# ddclient -daemon 300 -syslog
#
I get back the prompt... ok fine.
# ps -C ddclient
PID TTY TIME CMD
#
It isn't running.
# cat /var/run/ddclient.pid
7568
# ps 7568
PID TTY TIME CMD
#
It left a pid file, but.. definitely not running.
# grep ddclient /var/log/syslog
#
No log entries.
# ls -l /var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache
ls: /var/cache/ddclient: No such file or directory
#
The cache directory doesn't exist. Hmm.
So I went ahead and created the cache directory and tried again. Everything
was the same as before. And though the cache directory existed this time, nothing
was written in it.
So I try the verbose switch.
# ddclient -verbose -daemon 300 -syslog
# ps -C ddclient
PID TTY TIME CMD
# grep ddclient /var/log/syslog

because no cached entry exists.

May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: UPDATE: updating XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
So I can say for sure:
* It does read and accept the configuration file.
* It does determine my IP address.
* It does perform an update.
But I do not know why it then terminates, nor why it fails to write a cache
file.
In addition to the above, I added the -debug switch. However, there was no additional
output.
I would be happy to take additional steps to see why it is behaving this way.
I don't think ddclient is usable in this state, as I can't just run it as a
cron job - it will force an update on every execution.
