I've got a cable modem, and the only way I can get a static IP is to pay for business services that I don't need.
I'm using this service called dns2go ( update my DNS records if and when my IP changes. It's actually pretty cheap and seems to work well (so far, so good at least!).
My question about this is as follows:
I'm running it on Red Hat Enterprise Edition 3, and installing and configuring it was no prob... I start the thing (the dns2go client) and it works fine.
I noticed, however, that if you don't specify a logfile path in the .conf file, it uses stdout (the monitor screen) to log itself (which is kinda lame- it just kinda hangs the terminal screen with log output), so I set a path for the log file (and that works fine), but still if I invoke the program from the command line, it starts running fine, but the terminal still just hangs there until I stop it.
Now granted I need to set this thing up to run when the machine boots, I've just been tinkering with it to see what it can do (new toy ya know!), but it seems like to me like I should be able to stop and start this thing from the command line without having to commit a terminal to it, or wondering what it's gonna do if I close the terminal.
Anybody out there have any experience with this thing?
deletion mistake
no I can't recover that
