Hello,

I am running no-ip on my of my computers. The daemon runs as 'nobody'.
No-ip's configuration's last step is to specify a script I wish to run
on successful update of the IP address. I want to run this script as me
as the user, not as root or nobody. How do I do that?

Currently the script file I specified in no-ip configuration does not
appear to run as me since it cannot find my conf files from my home.
That same script runs perfectly if I run it myself manually.

Regards.

Configure either noip to run:

sudo -u YOURNAME /path/to/script/to/run

Or change your script to be:
#!/bin/sh
sudo -u YOURNAME /path/to/other/script

(If you can't allow spaces, etc, in your no-ip configuration.)

Then configure your copy of sudo to allow "nobody" to run
"/path/to/script" as you without any password.
