Hello all,
I am about to include about this script in my /etc/rc.local file
It logs me in to OpenDNS
Before I bore you with the script - which I found on the web - my
question is:
How can I get it to produce an output in a log / text file so I can see
what it did and if it was successful?
Here is the script:
UNAME=xxx # username
PWORD=xxx # password (plaintext, sorry!)
TEMP=/tmp/tmp.ddns # temporary file
ERROR=5 # times to retry
trap cleanup 1 2 3 6
cleanup()
{
rm $TEMP
exit 1
}
update()
{
wget --quiet --no-check-certificate -O $TEMP
'http://'$UNAME':'$PWORD'@updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?'
if [ `cat $TEMP | grep -c good` = 1 ]
then
logger OpenDNS updated successfully
else
while [ $ERROR -gt 0 ]; do
ERROR=$(($ERROR-1))
sleep 10s
update
done
logger OpenDNS update failed
fi
}
update
rm $TEMP
exit 0
I have tried to find a file called /tmp/tmp.ddns after running the
script, but it is not there!
Thanks for your help
Ed
