ddclient Running Info

ddclient seems powerful, however the only status message I can see is that it is running, by doing sudo /etc/init.d/ddclient status.

Is it possible to check what current ip is cached? since when? what's the time left until the next check? what's the host associated?

Just like No-IP client for Windows.

I think what you're looking for is: sudo ddclient -query

That command will spit out the local IP addresses of all the interfaces on the machine (eg: lo, eth0, wlan0) followed by the dynamic public IP addresses current set for with dyndns.com.

Peace.

You can also run the following command:

sudo ddclient -daemon=0 -debug -verbose -noquiet

This will provide the send, connected, and receive to show you a complete visual of the completed calls and it will provide a success or fail at the end.

The following command gives the status of all services: "service --status-all"

Try also: "ps -ef" to know how long a service has been "sleeping." This will let you know when ddclient will attempt to update your IP address.

I added verbose=yes in /etc/ddclient.conf and information showed up in /var/log/syslog.
