I am trying to create a postscript that changes my IP in the masquerade field
of my proftpd.conf

When I run the script it works as it should. It takes the first argument and
seds it into a mock proftpd.conf and then copies the file to the conf directory.
I checked that the script is executable. I have tried to start it using the
following arguments, like

ddclient -debug -syslog  -cache /home/erin/conf/ddclient/cache/ddclient.cache
-postscript /home/erin/conf/bin/proftpd-update.sh

I also added the path to the postscript section in the perl file at line 585 

 [ "postscript",  "/home/erin/conf/bin/proftpd-update.sh",   "-postscript  
: script to run after updating ddclient, has new IP as param" ],

Which of course did not work. 

Finally I straced the program and still could not find anything usefull to tell
me why the program was failing. If anyone can help I would apperciate it. The
shell script below works well for what I need, others are welcome to try it out.

<script> 
#!/bin/bash -x
IP=$1
WORKDIR=/home/erin/conf/proftpd/
PROFTPDHOME=/etc/proftpd/
CACHEFILE=/var/cache/ddclient/ddclient.cache

#awk -F, '{ print $5}'  $CACHEFILE | sed "s#

cd $WORKDIR

sed "s#MasqueradeAddress MASKADD#MasqueradeAddress ${IP}#" proftpd.conf-working
> proftpd.conf

cp proftpd.conf $PROFTPDHOME

/sbin/service proftpd restart

exit
</script>
