Noticed several instances of ddclient running, running "service ddclient stop"
didn't stop them, neither "killall ddclient", only "killall -r ddclient" worked.
Now, "service ddclient start" or restart would start duplicates.
It seems to be caused by the process name changed to "ddclient - sleeping ...".
Removing "--name" from test/stop cases of start-stop-daemon in /etc/init.d/
ddclient seesm to fix it.
Here are some logs:
