I'm trying to get ddclient to run as a cronjob, but before I do it I was wondering if it is not safe to do this.
I normally run under a user account (And not root), and ddclient can't be run by anyone but the owner (It won't let you run it, even if you have group access; "/etc/ddclient.conf must only be accessible by it's owner") I'm just wondering, before I do anything, if it is safe to chown all of my files to my user account? Or is there an easier alternative? I know ddclient can run as a daemon, but most of the time that daemon doesn't work and I end up just having to run ddclient manually myself. I'd just like to be able to set it as a cronjob, if that's possible. Also, if I set it as a root cronjob will that job only happen if/when I log into root? If it works so that I don't have to be logged into root then I could avoid a lot of hassle. Thank you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
