Anyone have a recipe for running ddclient (updates dynamic DNS info) from systemd? The current version is written for the classic init system. Can I just install it that way?

I think 'chkconfig ddclient on" should work. Also, in /usr/share/doc/ddclient-3.8.0/ they have some sample scripts that, when put in right place (it depends on your connection type) will refresh your address whenever it is changed. There is also file /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/50-ddclient which probably invokes it when address changed by NetworkManager, but I have no idea how it works.

As I say, that's basically the pre-systemd recipe, which may well work. I was hoping for something more aligned with F15, but it's not a big deal.

This was never the goal for Fedora 15. There are dozens and dozens of packages with init scripts. Only a small amount has been converted as noted in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd. Since systemd is backward compatible (along with hooks into service and chkconfig commands) with init scripts, there isn't a requirement to change everything in single step. One of the Fedora 16 efforts is to convert rest of the packages to use native systemd unit files. Follow progress at

systemctl actually uses chkconfig for pre-systemd services, so it is aligned pretty well with F15

Doesn't this work?
# systemctl enable ddclient.service
systemd is backwards compatible with SysVinit. There should be no issues as far as I am aware.

$ sudo systemctl enable ddclient.service ddclient.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig. Executing /sbin/chkconfig ddclient on
Since "chkconfig ddclient on" is what I did anyway (a la F14) I guess it must be right.
