inadyn.conf
INADYN.CONF(5) File formats and conventions INADYN.CONF(5)NAME
inadyn.conf - configuration for the inadyn client for open DNS servers.
DESCRIPTION
inadyn can read the very same options which can be present in the command line from a configuration file. This feature allows the user to
write the options only once, and avoids frequent retyping.
The format of the file follows the *NIX tradition:
a '#' character denotes a comment.
The long options (those with '--' in front) can also be placed at the beginning of the line without '--' signs.
a can be used as an escape character.
EXAMPLES
1.
#Some comment about inadyn cfg file
--username test --password test --update_period 60000
--alias test.homeip.net --alias my.second.domain
2.
--username test # user
--password test
update_period 60000 # some other param without '--'
alias test.homeip.net
