ddclient not honoring daemon time interval

Hello Linux world...I need your help

I have a raspi 3 running a home webserver and using ddclient to check in with google domains.

I have tried to set ddclient to only check in once per hour.

No matter what I do, it defaults to 300 seconds when I check the status.

both protocols I have listed below have been passing the debugger.

specs: ddclient 3.8.3 running on latest raspbian install

Here is the config:

Code:

# Configuration file for ddclient generated by debconf

#

# /etc/ddclient.conf



daemon=3600

syslog=yes

mail=root

mail-failure=root

pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid

ssl=yes



####################

#SITE 1#

####################

protocol=googledomains

#protocol=dyndns2

#server=domains.google.com

use=web, if=ip.changeip.com

login=username1

password='password1'

domain1.com



######################

#SITE 2#

######################

protocol=googledomains

#protocol=dyndns2

#server=domains.google.com

use=web, if=ip.changeip.com

login=username2

password='password2'

domain2.com

Am I missing something???

Try changing /etc/default/ddclient

Code:

# Set the time interval between the updates of the dynamic DNS name in seconds.

# This option only takes effect if the ddclient runs in daemon mode.

daemon_interval="300"

Thank you so much! That did the trick. I was unaware of it's default file.
