Hello everyone !!

I encounter some strange problem when i try to update my dyndns account using ddns-scripts

first the countain of my ddns in /etc/config

config service "mydyndns"

        option enabled "1"

        option service_name "dyndns.org"
         option domain "myusername.dyndns.org"
        option username "mysuername"
        option password "mypassword"

        option ip_source "web"
        option ip_url "http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp"

        option force_interval "72"
        option force_unit "hours"

        option check_interval "10"
        option check_unit "minutes"

after that when i try to launch the script dynamic_dns_updater.sh in /usr/lib/ddns

it show me this error message

"ERRROR: You must specify a service id (the section name in the /etc/config/ddns file) to initialize dynamic DNS."

Can someone explain me what is this service id and where I can set it

You must launch `dynamic_dns_updater.sh mydyndns`. 

But then you will run into a bug where your IP never gets updated because you are using the web detect method.  https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/5327

If you are willing to change the 2 lines in dynamic_dns_updater.sh and add the url_escape.sed it should solve that problem.

E.g.: 'ifup wan'.

or You can also simulate a hotplug event to trigger a DDNS update manually:

root@OpenWrt:~# ACTION=ifup INTERFACE=wan /sbin/hotplug-call iface
