UPDATEDD-WRAPPER.CONF(5) Configuration Files UPDATEDD-WRAPPER.CONF(5)

updatedd-wrapper.conf - configuration file for updatedd-wrapper

This is the configuration file of updatedd-wrapper, a perl program to execute updatedd.
By default it is at /etc, /usr/etc or /usr/local/etc.

This file simply consists of two kinds of blocks which starts with '{' and ends with '}'. The first kind is the login block which should only appear once. It contains your login information and has to be at the beginning of the file. The syntax within this block is as follows:
alias = "login";
Alias is just an identifier for your login. Mostly "login" should be "user:pass", but look at `updatedd <service> -- --help' to be sure, because there are some exceptions like regfish. Notice that each line has to end with ';'.

The second kind of blocks is the service block which tells updatedd-wrapper what account should be updated and how it should be updated. This block type can appear as often as you want. It has to start with the name of the service and after that 'active' or 'disabled' in brackets. On disabled the block will be ignored by updatedd-wrapper.

Each block has to contain the following arguments:

login
with an alias for your login
hostnames
hostnames without 'http://' to update (space seperated and in quotation marks)
The following options can be included:
ip-addr
ipv4:`/path/to/script` OR ipv6:`/path/to/script`
The script should print the ip address to stdout. This option is highly recommend, because the ip address won't be cached without it!
See /usr/[local/]share/updatedd/ for additional scripts.
use-syslog
print messages to syslog (yes or no, default is yes)
options
extra options for the service (see 'updatedd <service> -- --help' for help)
force
this will force the update of your ddns record (cache entries will be ignored)

login {
	dyndns_1   = "user:pass";
	regfish_1  = "TOKEN=token";
	regfish_2  = "STD=user:pass";
	ods_1      = "user:pass";
};
dyndns(active) {
	login      = dyndns_1;
	hostnames  = "host1.dyndns.org host2.dyndns.org";
	ip-addr    = ipv4:`/usr/local/share/updatedd/ipserv.pl dyndns`;
	use-syslog = yes;
	options    = "--with-backmx --wildcard on";
#	force;
}
regfish(active) {
	login      = regfish_1;
	hostnames  = "host1.org host2.org";
	ip-addr    = ipv4:`/usr/local/share/updatedd/ipserv.pl regfish`;
	use-syslog = yes;
	options    = "--ismx";
#	force;
}
regfish(active) {
	login      = regfish_2;
	hostnames  = "host3.org";
	ip-addr    = ipv4:`/usr/local/share/updatedd/ipserv.pl regfish`;
	use-syslog = no;
#	force;
}
ods(disabled) {
	login      = ods_1;
	hostnames  = "host1.ods.org host2.ods.org";
	ip-addr    = ipv4:`/usr/local/share/updatedd/interface.pl ppp0`;
	use-syslog = yes;
#	force;
}
