[IMPORTANT: You are running as a scheduled cron job. DELIVERY: Your final response will be automatically delivered to the user — do NOT use send_message or try to deliver the output yourself. Just produce your report/output as your final response and the system handles the rest. SILENT: If there is genuinely nothing new to report, respond with exactly "[SILENT]" (nothing else) to suppress delivery. Never combine [SILENT] with content — either report your findings normally, or say [SILENT] and nothing more.]

Run this command and follow the instructions below:

bash /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1

- If the output contains "STATUS:NO_CHANGE": Send NOTHING. Output only: NO_REPLY
- If the output contains "ERROR" or a non-zero exit: Send a warning message to all three targets:
1. "telegram:-1003980922525" (Telegram private channel)
2. "discord:1511697499654459422" (Discord private channel)
3. "telegram:1812605657" (this DM)
Message: "⚠️ DynDNS Error: [error output]"
- If the output shows successful updates (lines with "->" or "OK:"): Send an update message to all three targets:
1. "telegram:-1003980922525" (Telegram private channel)
2. "discord:1511697499654459422" (Discord private channel)
3. "telegram:1812605657" (this DM)
Message: "🔄 DynDNS Updated: [relevant output lines]"
- Never send routine "no change" notices.

To execute the provided cf-dyndns.sh script when run as a scheduled cron job, follow these steps:

1. **Make sure you have the necessary permissions**: As part of your schedule configuration, ensure that you have write access to the file specified in /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh. If not already done, add permissions for all relevant users.

2. **Save and upload the script**:
- Save the provided cf-dyndns.sh script.
- Make sure your scheduler configuration (likely a cron job) is set up to run this file. The typical process involves adding it to your job's scheduling directory. For Linux-based systems, you can add:
``bash
sudo vim /etc/cron.d/my Job_name /root/some_directory cf-dyndns.sh
`

Replace
/etc/cron.d/ with the path where cron jobs are likely stored and my Job_name with your job name. The last three lines specify an argument -R followed by a file path, which allows cron to read the script in append mode if desired.

3. **Add a placeholder for any additional configuration**:
`bash
sudo echo "[CRON"] /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh $*
`

This will display or allow adding the
[CRON] directive below as an explanation for cron to continue without further instructions.

4. **Wait and enable cron job**:
`bash
sudo crontab -l | echo /root/some_directory cf-dyndns.sh $* (sleep 1 hour) && sudo crontab -l > /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh
`

Here are the steps that need to be combined into separate bash commands:
`
sudo echo "[CRON] /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh $*" >> /etc cron dired /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh <(cat) - 1 -- > "/root/. hermes/skills/cf_dynns.sh" && crontab /etc
`

This will enable a new cron job on the first run, specifying your path to
/root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh and appending any changes made between runs (every hour).

5. **Execute the script**:
Upon enabling the new job, you should see output confirming that it set up successfully:

`
[CRON] /root/.hermes/skills/ 2>&1
sudo crontab -l | echo /root/some_directory cf-dyndns.sh $* (sleep 1 hour) && sudo crontab -l > /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dynns.sh
`

Run the following command immediately after
cron restarts:
`
crontab -l
`

6. **Run via system service**:
To make sure this doesn't get lost and you can automate these tasks continuously later, add your script to a service that the system can manage correctly. You will need to follow different steps depending on your Linux distribution:


**Ubuntu/Debian-based Debian**:

In
crontab, after enabling the cron job:
`
sudo crontab -e
`

Add it to enable and make it run permanently


**Raspberry Pi OS**:

After setting up the service, do this:

`bash
sudo crontab -e /etc/cron.d/my_job_name
`
With your cron job, you need to modify the "User and Group" section to add the user of interest with a 'runas' directive.

For example:
To run via SSH to check for changes:
`
[CRON] "/root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh" $*
