I use this cron script that I wrote:
#!/bin/sh
MAIL=
PATH=/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
DATFILE=/etc/cron.hourly/oldip.dat
OLDIP=$(cat ${DATFILE})
IP=$(/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | sed -n -e "s/^.*addr://g" -n -e "s/ Bcast.*//p")
if [ x$IP != x$OLDIP ]; then
echo $IP > oldip.dat
lynx -source -auth=username:password
'http://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=domainname' >& /dev/null
fi
(where username is your ZoneEdit username, password is your ZoneEdit
password, and domainname is the domain
you registered)
It basically just goes to the updater website using lynx.
