Summary: -postscript unknown option

Initial Comment:
Using ddclient-3.7.0, with the "-postcript /path/to/my/command" option on the commandline, I got the error "Unknown option: postscript"

With "postscript=/path/to/my/command" in ddclient.conf and no "-postscript ..." option on the command line, it seems to work.

Digging into the code, I put the line

    [ "postscript",  "=s", "-postscript command   : run external command after updates" ],

into  @opt and now the -postscript command line option works.


My config:
daemon=3600
syslog=yes
mail=root
mail-failure=root
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
ssl=yes

login=mylogin
password=mypassword
wildcard=yes
 server=members.dyndns.org,             \
 protocol=dyndns2                       \

Message:
Using version 3.7.3 on Mandriva 2008 : 
That is a fact that the option is NOT supported on the command line,
although it should according to the documentation here :
http://ddclient.wiki.sourceforge.net/Usage.

Note that it should also be documented on the --help command line option :
presently this option help is missing.
As a helper it should appear as a comment in the sample conf files.

Maybe a recommendation about possible conflict between current shell
quoting rules and command line interpretation by the script should be
useful to users.

As far as I can tell the code submitted by ragnar42 is correct.

Tip: the option works as a global option in the ddclient.conf file.
It is typically very useful to update some firewall rules.
