Bla Bla :

Hi there
as i am setting up my server under mageia 3
Here is a little wiki to setup noip at startup with mageia

Setting up No-IP and Setup it to Autostart

Step 1
1. You have to install noip
for i386
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/epel/5/i386 ... 5.i386.rpm
for 64
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/atrpms.net/e ... x86_64.rpm

Step 2
2. Just open the file with the installer

Step 3
3. Then you have to setup noip with your account
3.1 Open terminal
3.2 run "su"
3.2 run "noip2 -C"
3.3 follow the instruction

Step 4
4. run "sudo dolphin &"
4.1 navigate to "\etc\init.d\" with dolphin explorer and look for noip
4.2 open noip with text editor (Kate for example)
4.3 copy the given script on it (replace present one) ... i made a script to work with mageia 3
4.4 save and run "chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/noip"

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
# chkconfig: - 99 80
# description: Starts and stops the no-ip.com Dynamic dns client daemon

if [ -f /etc/init.d/functions ] ; then
  . /etc/init.d/functions
elif [ -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions ] ; then
  . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
else
  exit 0
fi

DAEMON=noip2

# Avoid using root's TMPDIR
unset TMPDIR

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

RETVAL=0

start() {
   if [ $(pgrep noip2) != '' ] ; then
      echo "no-ip client daemon already started" && exit 0
   fi
   echo -n $"Starting no-ip client daemon: "
   daemon /usr/bin/$DAEMON -c /etc/no-ip2.conf &&
   echo
   RETVAL=$?
        return $RETVAL
}   

stop() {
   if [ $(pgrep noip2) != '' ] ; then
      echo -n $"Stopping no-ip client daemon: "
      killproc $DAEMON -TERM
      kill $(pgrep noip2)
      echo
      RETVAL=$?
   else
      echo "no-ip client daemon is not running" && exit 0
   fi
   return $RETVAL
}   

restart() {
   stop
   start
}   

case "$1" in
  start)
     start
   ;;
  stop)
     stop
   ;;
  restart)
     restart
   ;;
  condrestart)
        [ $(pgrep noip2) != '' ] && restart || :
        ;;
  reload)
        echo -n $"Reloading $prog: "
        #killproc $DAEMON -HUP
        kill $(pgrep noip2)
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        ;;
  status)
        status $DAEMON
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
  *)
   echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|condrestart|reload|status}"
   exit 1
esac

exit $?


Step 5
5. Check/add that the service to autostart when linux start
5.1 run "systemctl enable noip.service"
5.2 run "chkconfig --add noip"
5.3 run "chkconfig --level 01237 noip off"
5.4 run "chkconfig --level 456 noip on"

Step 6
6. Reboot.

Info :
That's it
you have now noip auto starting and updating your host

Note 1 :
After 3 or 5 minutes the command "sudo systemctl status noip.service" will show
"Active: failed (Result: timeout)" it's normal don't worry the ip will still be updated, to check if no ip is still running use "sudo noip -S"

Timeouts apply to all init script operations in systemd. While on SysV
systems a hanging init script could freeze the system on systemd all
init script operations are subject to a timeout of 5min.

Note 2 :
To start the service : service "sudo noip start" or "sudo systemctl start noip.service"
To check if noip is running : sudo noip -S
To check service state : sudo systemctl status noip.service

I just install noip form Mandriva 2011 repo. All necessary files (Including /etc/init.d startup) are installed automatically.
Here for example 32 bit version:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/ ... 6.rpm.html

nice ...
any way i rewrited the boot script i don't like how the given one works...
