starting a service for dyndns update client
I want to use the dynamic IP updater Inadyn. I know to create the .conf file and put it in /etc/inadyn.conf, I have done this.
This updater has an executable file but I don't know what to do with it. I guess I should make it start as a service (daemon) but I don't know how. I got this from htttp://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/using_inadyn_with_dyndns_services.html Tips on what to do to get this up and running appreciated. Thanks |

Exploring PCLinuxOS - Part 1
http://www.terryscomputertips.com/co...xos-part-1.php According to the above article, there should be a /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. The rc.local file can been used to start daemons/run scripts at boot time which are added by the local SysAdmin and customized per site requirements. If you have this file, then you could probably use it. It's contents could be something simple like: Code:
#!/bin/sh http://docs.pclinuxos.com/HomePage The old Wiki is a little better, but still didn't mention the rc.local file. http://oldwiki.mypclinuxos.com/Confi...ystem_services I hope this helps. Edit: If using the /etc/rc.d/rc.local works for you, you might consider securing the file so only root can read/execute it considering there would be a password in it. Code:
# chmod 700 /etc/rc.d/rc.local http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_intro/sect_03_04.html |
