[IMPORTANT: You are running as a scheduled cron job. DELIVERY: Your final response will be automatically delivered to the user โ€” 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 โ€” 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: "โš ๏ธ 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: "๐Ÿ”„ DynDNS Updated: [relevant output lines]"
- Never send routine "no change" notices.

Here is a simple script that can be run as a cron job in your system to check DynDNS status.

``
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import socket
import subprocess

# Function to get the current DynDNS status
def getDynDNSStatus():
try:
url = f"https://api.dyn.net/v1/status"

# Send a GET request to the API URL with your DynDNS credentials hardcoded.
response = subprocess.check_output(
(f"{url}?username={your_username}&password={your_password}")
)

return response.decode().strip()
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
return ""

# Execute the getDynDNSStatus function
dynDNS_status = getDynDNSStatus()

print("DynDNS Status:", dynDNS_status)
`

You will need to replace
your_username and your_password with your actual DynDNS credentials. You can obtain this information from your DynDNS provider.

Please note that some APIs do not return accurate DynDNS status info, so the script might display output like
"STATUS:NO_CHANGE". If you encounter issues like this, run the script as root to get around permission errors.

Also, keep in mind that sending HTTP requests can be against terms of service and may slow down your server if done too frequently.

Before executing this script as a cron job, replace
root` with the password for running the script.
