NAME

updatedd-wrapper - config- and cachefile support for updatedd

SYNOPSIS

updatedd-wrapper [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

Updatedd-wrapper is a perl program to execute updatedd. It uses a configuration file with c-like syntax and a cache file for ip addresses to prevent that a update with the same address will be executed twice.

OPTIONS

-c <path>: Use an alternative configuration file.
Defaults:
/etc/updatedd-wrapper.conf
/usr/etc/updatedd-wrapper.conf
/usr/local/etc/updatedd-wrapper.conf
-f: Force update of all records (do not check cached ip addresses).
-i <secs>: Wait n seconds after a failed update until a new attempt will be tried.
-r <num>: Number of retries when an update failed. This is only for updates that failed with return code 1 (warnings), for example connection problems or not enough memory.
-s: Print commands to stdout instead of executing updatedd. This option may be used to check whether updatedd-wrapper reads the configuration file correctly.
-t <path>: Usually /tmp/updatedd-wrapper-<uid>.cache will be used as cache-file, but you can specify another one with this option.
-y: Print update status of all accounts to syslog. The configuration in updatedd-wrapper.conf will be passed over.
--help: Print help and exit.
--version: Print version information and exit.
