# extended and partial rewritten in August 2014 
# by Christian Schoenebeck <christian dot schoenebeck at gmail dot com>
# to support:
# - IPv6 DDNS services
# - setting DNS Server to retrieve current IP including TCP transport
# - Proxy Server to send out updates or retrieving WEB based IP detection
# - force_interval=0 to run once (usefull for cron jobs etc.)
# - the usage of BIND's host instead of BusyBox's nslookup if installed (DNS via TCP)
# - extended Verbose Mode and log file support for better error detection

	# Based on notes in my "Shell Script Hints", section "Command Timeout"
	#   http://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/~anthony/info/shell/script.hints
	#
	# This script uses a lot of tricks to terminate both the background command,
	# the timeout script, and even the sleep process.  It also includes trap
	# commands to prevent sub-shells reporting expected "Termination Errors".
	#
	# It took years of occasional trials, errors and testing to get a pure bash
	# timeout command working as well as this does.
