[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 the code that these specifications describe:
``
# Start in debug mode
hermes mode:debug

# Set all relevant environment variables here, if needed for custom setup
export HERMESScriptDir=/root/.hermes

# Run the
cf-dyndns.sh script, then wait on the results
#!/bin/bash
bash /root/.hermes/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1 | more
`
Let me explain what this code does:

*
hermes mode:debug: This line tells Hermes to run in debug mode. If you're not familiar with Hermes, a quick look at their documentation or the official website should give you an idea of how this works.
*
/root/.hermes/: This is the location where your Helm client configuration file (usually named stable.yaml) and other files related to your DynDNS setup are stored. If you don't know what this is, it might be different on your system.
*
export HERMESScriptDir=/root/.hermes/: These lines export the path to your DynDNS script directory if it differs from where Hermes looks for it by default.

When you save and run this code as a cron job with crontab like so:
`
crontab -e
bash /root/.hermes/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1
`
It will first start in debug mode and then run the
cf-dyndns.sh script. The output of this script is captured by the more` command and the subsequent input to a pager or another process.

To test the scheduled cron job, save the above code on your server system, and when the specified schedule runs (e.g., 9am every Monday), it will execute this code as part of its scheduling process.
