NAME

ez-ipupdate - dynamic DNS client

SYNOPSIS

ez-ipupdate [options]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the ez-ipupdate dynamic DNS client.

OPTIONS

ez-ipupdate follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

string to send as your ip address
file to use for caching the ipaddress
configuration file, almost all arguments can be given with: <name>[=<value>] to see a list of possible config commands try "echo help | ez-ipupdate -c -"
run as a daemon periodicly updating if necessary
shell command to execute after a successful update
when running as a daemon run in the foreground
use <file> as a pid file
URI to send updates to
string to send as host parameter
which interface to use
some stupid thing for DHS only

set to off line mode
period to check IP if it can't be resolved
period to check IP in daemon mode (default: 1800 seconds)

change to <user> for running, be ware that this can cause problems with handeling SIGHUP properly if that user can't read the config file. also it can't write it's pid file to a root directory
change to effective <user> for running, this is NOT secure but it does solve the problems with run-as-user and config files and pid files.
