[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.

Here is your solution in the required Markdown format:
You have a function called cf-dyndns.sh that runs a cron job to update DynDNS records for a server listening on port 80. The update process involves sending notifications about successful updates or failures.

To handle it, you can create another function, let's call it notify_dyndns, with the following code:

``python
import subprocess

def notify_dyndns(update_message):
try:
# Update DynDNS records. Replace the placeholder for the server name and update type.
if "STATUS:NO_CHANGE" in output:
return None
elif "ERROR" in output or int(output.split("ERROR")[1].split(": ")[0]) != 2:
warning = (
f"DynDNS Error: {output}"
)
else:
updates = subprocess.call(
["curl", "-L", "http://status.dyndns.com"], stdin=subprocess.PIPE
) # Check if the server is available to be updated first
update_output = output

return (
"Updated DynDNS records. "
f"{update_message} (Server: {server_name}, Update Type: {update_type})"
),
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
error = (
f"dyndns update failed with exit code {e.returncode}. {str(e)}"
)
return error,
`

In this function, it checks if the server is available for updating (by checking
STATUS NoelChange in the output). If so, it sends a "no change" notification. Otherwise, it attempts to send notifications about updates or failures, using curl to retrieve and process the update data.

To receive notifications when DynDNS errors occur, you can add a new function called
send_dynamicfailNotification. This is an example:

`python
def send_dynamicfailNotification(error_message):
try:
notify_senders = [
"server1.dyn1.name: 1503980922525",
"server2.dyn2.name: 1511697499654459422",
server1_dynserver_name,
]

for sender in notify_senders:
send_process = subprocess.Popen(
[python3_script], # path to python script that updates DynDNS
stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
)
try:
if isinstance(error_message, str):
error_response = str(error_message)
else:
event = (str(error_message),)
except Exception as err:
message = (
"Error Sending Notify: "
f"python3 {script_path}: "
f"{err}"
)
raise CommandError(message)

if isinstance(error_message, tuple):
send_process.sendall(event.encode())
elif isinstance(error_message, str):
(send_process.stdout,
_ )= send_process.communicate(error_message.encode())

return False
`

In this example, you can use your
notify_dyndns` function to trigger an email notification when DynDNS errors occur or a successful update occurs.

You should also make sure you have all necessary permissions and that the Python script (including any external dependencies like dyndns) is running with the right privileges on your server.
