Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4290191 By: yath 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 May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: CONNECT: checkip.dyndns.org May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: CONNECTED: using HTTP May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: SENDING: GET / HTTP/1.0 May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: SENDING: Host: checkip.dyndns.org May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: SENDING: User-Agent: ddclient/3.7.1 May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: SENDING: Connection: close May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: SENDING: May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: RECEIVE: HTTP/1.1 200 OK^M May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: RECEIVE: Content-Type: text/html^M May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: RECEIVE: Server: DynDNS-CheckIP/0.2^M May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: RECEIVE: Connection: close^M May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: RECEIVE: Cache-Control: no-cache^M May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: RECEIVE: Pragma: no-cache^M May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: RECEIVE: Content-Length: 106^M May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: RECEIVE: ^M May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: RECEIVE: <html><head><title>Current IP Check</title></head><body>Current IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/body></html>^M May 1 22:40:22 localhost ddclient[7568]: INFO: forcing updating XXXXXXXXXXXXXX because no cached entry exists.

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. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
