Summary: ddclient spawns several competing daemons
Initial Comment:
This bug was originally reported in Ubuntu - https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ddclient/+bug/152875
I have a DSL line that gets disconnected every 24 hours, then upon a reconnect gets a new IP address.
When I set both of the following settings in /etc/default/ddclient to true...
----
# Set to "true" if ddclient should be run every time a new ppp connection is
# established. This might be useful, if you are using dial-on-demand
run_ipup="true"
# Set to "true" if ddclient should run in daemon mode
run_daemon="true"
----
...then ddclient will over time spawn several, competing ddclient daemon processes (when I noticed the issue I had 3 of them) that will almost constantly execute update requests on the dyndns server. This got me temporarily banned from dyndns.org, until I set run_ipup to false and kept the run_daemon option as true, which will work fine.
My ddclient is configured to get its IP address from the interface ppp0.
It's an wishlist bug as you can see in the comments. Only to prevent two options from running, to not cause problems.
