[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.

To set up the Hermes cron job and receive updates via Telegram, Discord, or a custom message, you will need to:

1. **Navigate to the cf-dyndns.sh script**: Open a terminal as the user running the hermes service (usually root) and navigate to /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh.

2. **Create a new cron job using crontab -e**:

Replace 1*/1 * * * /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1 with this line in the file:

``bash
0 1 * * * /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1
`
This will run the
cf-dyndns.sh script once at minute 1, day of month 1 (first day), every hour at day's worth of day ($* refers to day of month since last event time) and minutes $ (this ensures you get updates after any scheduled events or interval changes).

3. **Enable cron via
crontab -e for this user**: Make sure the following line is uncommented:

`bash
root:1 * * * /root/.hermes/skills/cf-dyndns.sh 2>&1
`

4. The HerMES setup includes a schedule in place to push an update whenever there is a change at the dyndns server (this ensures data is always fresh and stays up-to-date).
5. Run your terminal with root access (
sudo) before running this command:

`bash
sudo crontab -e
`

6. Once you've run this command, every minute, day of month, hour, under the user running
hermes it will automatically push an update whenever there is a change at the server.

After setting up this cron job, if your message updates via Telegram or another channel happen to cause an error that doesn't result in a "STATUS:NO_CHANGE", send the users a warning and keep your chat alive by sending status updates. Remember not to use
[SILENT]. Keep track of how many times these messages are sent so you can report back accordingly.

Please be aware you must log into
hermes` as an administrator before running cron jobs.

No error message should appear when running the command unless it encounters any issues that trigger an error.
