Update Based Reboot not Working - ddclient hangs!

[knebb]

Hi,

I noticed the following behaviour now twice:
Update is set to "automatically" including reboot

• At some stage I realize my Nginx is not working any more
• Checking logs shows, Nginx has been stopped by update but never started again because OPNSense itself wants to reboot (The web-GUI tells me "System is rebooting" on the firmware tab)
• Trying to reboot manually through any way (GUI, SSH) does not work. System stays online
• Checking on console shows pkill is waiting for the ddclient to end. Which does not happen. So reboot stops and waits for ddclient.
• Killing ddclient with kill -9 PIDOF immediately reboots the system properly

root@router:~ # ps ax| grep 43968
43968  -  Is       0:02.34 ddclient - sleeping for 10 seconds (perl)
51212  -  I        0:00.00 pwait -op 43968
53945  -  I        0:00.00 pwait -op 43968
17700  0  I+       0:00.00 pwait -op 43968
 6279  1  S+       0:00.00 grep 43968
root@router:~ # kill -9 43968
root@router:~ #                                                                               
*** FINAL System shutdown message from root@router.knebb.de ***             

System going down IMMEDIATELY                                                 

Anyone having an idea how to prevent this or to fix ddclient?

Thanks!

Since we also have issues with e.g. Suricata in some setups this will hit 26.7.4:
