To find the status of a DynDNS record, you can run the given command in cron to schedule it manually after your script is executed. Here are the steps:
1. **Find out what the script will execute**: Check your
cf-dyndns.sh file (located at
/root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh) and note down its contents.
2. **Identify the DynDNS record ID to look up**: The output of this script typically contains an ID, which you can then copy for later use.
3. **Execute the dyndns lookup command**: As instructed in the
cf-dyndns.sh script, execute a new command like
\getstatus with the correct ID.
4. **Copy the output and do not return**: The provided output is used as your final response to us to acknowledge processing of the task and your findings will be acknowledged accordingly.
**Example:**
``
python
#!/path/to/your/script.sh
# Run a script that makes requests to these dyndns servers...
import requests
dyndns_id = 'some/dyn_dns_record_id'
response = requests.get('https://example.com')
if response.status_code == 200:
dynamic_site_info = {"domain": "example.com",
"name": "Some Domain"}
except Exception as e:
dynamic_site_info = {}".format(str(e))
print(dynamic_site_info)
`
Please replace /path/to/your/script.sh
with the actual path to your cf-dyndns.sh
file, run this script in cron and then copy the output of getstatus dyn_dns_record_id
. Finally, provide that response to us and we will acknowledge receipt of all data.
`
bash
$ crontab -e # Edit the default cron table
crontab: invalid line
`
`
bash
# Define the cron job. This command shall be run once in a minute.
*/1 * * * * /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh getstatus
`
cron.log
or /var/log/cron.log
: Save it to that log as well so we can identify where and why errors occur. If we didn't catch the specific error, do not worry โ simply copy the output and use with TODO
: TODO: Fix! [insert here]
. We need accurate input when it comes down to what needs to be fixed to make our system run smoothly!
When you have finished editing cron jobs (you should see no 'errors' in a valid log file, and everything should pass, leaving only the expected output response), save and exit (Ctrl+X
, then y` to confirm).
