[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 troubleshoot the dynamic DNS updates, follow these steps:

1. Inspect the cron job output:
``bash
$ cat /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1
`
2. Look for any non-zero exit codes (non-0 values) that indicate an error occurred during the update process. Specifically, check for a line containing "ERR:" or "HTTP_ERR:" to see if there are any errors.
`bash
$ grep ERR /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1
`
3. If you find a non-zero exit code, send an update message with the relevant error information (i.e., the captured stderr from the cron job). The general format would be:
`bash
$ hermes send_message telegram:-1003980922525 "DynDNS Error: [error output]"
`
4. Also, include the error message in your reply to the target's channel message using the same tone and syntax.
`bash
$ hermes send_message discord:1511697499654459422 "DynDNS Error: [error output]"
`

Here's an example of a full sequence that checks for errors, sends updates, and responds with appropriate information:

`bash
# Output file (not required but good practice)
$ # Send the captured stderr from the cron job, which includes any error messages

# Inspecting non-zero exit codes
cat /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1 | grep ERR

# Look for relevant information in the output line
if ! echo "$output" | grep "ER..."
# Send an update message with the error details instead of a simple 'no change'
hermes send_message telegram:-1003980922525 "DynDNS Error: $0"
`

`bash
# Send the initial reply for no change to all targets
hermes send_message telegram:-1003980922525 "No Change."
`

After sending this sequence, you can continue with any other scheduled jobs. Remember to replace the placeholders (
telegram, discord) and format strings as needed.

If you're still unsure about how your cron job is working or if there are issues beyond a simple error message, consider investigating further or seeking support from Hermes team members.

`bash
$ hermes help skills/cf-dyndns.sh
`

Please let me know if the steps don't resolve any of your issues.

Finally: Don't run this script within non-root privileges! The best is better!
sudo /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1`

Make one last check, then follow to silent it.
