Description Jaco Kroon 2007-07-22 21:17:53 UTC
Sometimes it's useful to run multiple instances of ddclient in order to update multiple dynamic IPs (say I dial in over ADSL and iBurst, or just plain balancing between adsl links).

Similar to being able to run OpenVPN with multiple configurations.  Will attach an updated init script that can handle multiple configs in a second.

Reproducible: Always

ddclient init script

This init script can handle multiple ddclient configurations, and defaults to /etc/ddclient/ddclient.{conf,cache}, but when invoked as /etc/init.d/ddclient.foo it'll use /etc/ddclient/foo.{conf,cache} instead.  Similar tricks are used for the PID file.

Upstream supports multiple IP addresses now. Nothing for us to do to make that happen.
