    Code
    [root@debian]# ddclient -force
SUCCESS:  updating test.homelinux.org: good: IP address set to 123.7.265.123
[root@debian]#



    can also test the Ip has updated with


    Code
    root@debian:~$ host yourdyndns.org
yourdyndns.org has address 97.153.247.185
root@debian:~$

    Thanks for sharing that dude its a very interesting site ! This has come about cos i changed over to ubuntu so no nlonger have the windows dyn updater tool which was pretty straight forward !
    everything seems to be ok ! i spose i will find out sooner or later either way when my isp changes the IP number ?


    Should i be making a cron job ?

    From this i think i can keep an eye on it and see if the "ddclient 3.8.0" does its job ! looks like it updated earlier when i first installed it and then after following the instructions in post#2 of this thread !

    Thankyou very much Ten Below


    Status of Dynamic DNS service update utility: ddclient is running.


    will this program automaticly start again when i do a reboot on the server ?
    i currently do a manual reboot on the server via putty from my laptop or via ssh login from another linux machine
    will i need to manually re start ddclient ?


    thanks for all your help !:48_002:

    Why restart server? confuses me why ppl do this.


    Little known fact, Linux works better the longer it is running, only thing anyone in this game needs to restart is cams, even thats rare if setup properly.
