I have those errors too, and I saw those were occurring every 3 hours from midnight, from /var/log/message:

Nov 11 03:00:00 server ddclient[631]: WARNING: caught SIGTERM; exiting

Nov 11 06:00:01 server ddclient[1090]: WARNING: caught SIGTERM; exiting

Nov 11 09:00:02 server ddclient[2299]: WARNING: caught SIGTERM; exiting

Nov 11 12:00:01 server ddclient[3206]: WARNING: caught SIGTERM; exiting

Nov 11 15:00:01 server ddclient[4096]: WARNING: caught SIGTERM; exiting

ddclient updated the record several times between 12 and 15 with no problems.

What could cause ddclient to fail every 3 hours?

I got ddclient 3.6.4 with perl 5.8.5 on FreeBSD 5.3 STABLE.

ddclient-cvs with postscript by Larry Hendric
Larry Hendrickson posted a patch for running a postscript after updating the dynamic dns service. The only thing you need to add to the configuration is:
postscript=/path/to/script
The patch is applied to the cvs-version on sf.net. It's not tested yet but the source looks cool to me.
Btw, Larry if you're out there, please contact me. When I replied to you message I got "domain not found"...

ddclient is moved to sourceforge.
Maybe you've noticed it, maybe you didn't but ddclient is moved to sf.net. You can find the homepage (http://ddclient.sourceforge.net) and the projectpage (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ddclient/) there.
