HowTo: Install Inadyn in CentOS 5.1


Drop to the tmp directory and download the Inadyn zip file.

cd /tmp

wget http://cdn.dyndns.com/inadyn.zip

Unzip the file and copy the linux version of the inadyn file located in /bin/linux to the /usr/bin directory.

unzip inadyn.zip

cp inadyn/bin/linux/inadyn /usr/bin/inadyn

We must change the file permission

chmod 755 /usr/bin/inadyn

Create or edit the configuration file for inadyn

nano /etc/inadyn.conf

In the inadyn.conf file must look something like this.

--username          yourdyndnsusername

--password          yourdyndnspassword

--alias                yoursite1.dyndns.com

--alias                yoursite2.dyndns.com

--update_period   6000

--background

Save the configuration file and change the file permission.

chmod 640 /etc/inadyn.conf

Now, we want inadyn to start every time the system rebooted.

export EDITOR=nano

crontab -e

In the crontab, add this at the very first line.

@reboot inadyn

Done! We can run Inadyn instantly by entering inadyn command in the terminal window.
