      You could edit it via ssh, but making a backup is a good idea.

      You'll just need to remember to use /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw before editing and /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro afterward.

        Ok. What I meant is that these changes to a file won't be in any backup so I have to do the changes on every update…

          Yes, that is correct, but this would only be a temporary test.

          If that does fix it, then the package's sync routine is wrong (it should be sync'd on every run of /etc/rc.newwanip when a new WAN IP is found).  If the package can be fixed, that will be the permanent resolution.

            Ok. Entered it at the end of the config file:

            /* reload slbd */
            /* if ($config['load_balancer']['lbpool']['type'] == "gateway") */
            slbd_configure();
            log_error("Configuring slbd");
            
            return 0;
            
            ?>
            
            # temp fix for igmpd restart
            /usr/local/sbin/igmpproxy -c /tmp/igmpproxy.conf

                Hey jimp. Any other idea what I might try? Or did I put the command in a wrong position?

                  That was probably in the wrong place. Since that is a PHP script, anything outside of ?> is just html, not a shell command.

                  So put it inside of ?> (up a few lines) and then run it via exec("<command></command>");

                    Ok jimp…

                    Now the files looks like this:

                    /* reload slbd */
                    /* if ($config['load_balancer']['lbpool']['type'] == "gateway") */
                    slbd_configure();
                    log_error("Configuring slbd");
                    
                    return 0;
                    
                    # temp fix for igmpd restart
                    exec("/usr/local/sbin/igmpproxy -c /tmp/igmpproxy.conf");
                    
                    ?>
                    
                    

                    Will tell you tomorrow if this worked…

                    Thanks again!

                      that looks better. If that doesn't help, you might also try to use mwexec_bg() instead of exec() so it would be launched in the background.

                        Okay, that didn't work either. Will try the mwexec_bg() version now…

                              What do the logs on a successful startup look like when compared to that failed startup?

                                  So is there another solution? Otherwise I would stick with my cronjob. This is really frustrating, since it should be no big deal. Do you know who the package maintainer is so that we could ask him for comments?

                                    Only other suggestion I can think of is that you might do a killall -9 igmpproxy, then sleep for 5-10 seconds, and then launch it again.

                                    The last person to commit on the package was Ermal, but I'm not sure if he's actually the maintainer of the package or not. It hasn't had any commits in over a year.

                                      Could I do this with the exec command in rc.newwanip again?
                                      Like this?

                                      exec("killall -9 igmpproxy;sleep 10;/usr/local/sbin/igmpproxy -c /tmp/igmpproxy.conf");

                                        I would put them each in separate exec() commands to be safer.
