>Description:
	Installed ddclient-3.6.3 package.
	Executing 'ddclient.sh stop' fails to kill any and all running ddclient processes.
	The 'killall ddclient' line in the shell script fails to identify the running perl script:
	# ps ax | grep ddclient
	50277  p2  S      0:01.22 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/local/sbin/ddclient -daemon 300
	# killall ddclient
	No matching processes were found
	
	In my first encounter with this issue I had managed to launch 4 copies of ddclient, not realising that first 3 instances hadn't automatically terminated. None were terminated with the shell script or the killall issued at the command line.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	execute '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ddclient.sh stop' while ddclient is running.
	response is: 'No matching processes were found'
>Fix:

	Unknown. Guru input required.
