DNS-O-Matic add-on
Am just trying Super Poussin's new DNS-O-Matic add-on. Installed, disabled, modified the dnsomatic file and restarted the service. There doesn't seem to be a way to confirm that it's working. If I log into my account on the dnsomatic website, it just sits there saying "Waiting for first update" for both my dyndns and opendns account. Any way to confirm its proper installation and usage?
Thanks!
PS I forgot to mention I installed the 1.1 version that was updated a few hours ago (from 1.0 early this morning).

- super_poussinVirtuosoI will provide a new version to day if I have enough time (for NV+/DUO/1100 ) cause the actual version works fine on PRO
I need to do more test - RWrightAspirant

Thanks super-poussin.
I've also discovered that DNSOMatic version 1.4 does not seem to stop running when stopped from the add-ons page in FrontView. I thought I'd shut it down this morning but having just checked the logs, there are entries for the whole day. - dl78Aspirant

Is there any specific add-on for the Duo to open the ssh ?
For ssh access:

Check out the "Shell Access Patches" at the bottom.
Many thanks RWright for your help.
Now I was able to run the script "sh /c/addons-scripts/DnsOMatic/dnsomatic" and it works once each time run manually but the DynDNS IP is not changed.
I have similar log as you got:

Hi super-poussin
Is there any news on an update for this ?
Many thanks - sergiosatAspirantI found the trick for the Duo:
- In general the cron environment is not the same as the shell environment, therefore some paths in the cron environment are not set as the normal shell.
- In this case the path to launch "curl" command is not set and the command does not work
- In order to have the curl command correctly in the script is mandatory to add the path before the curl command
- Changing the line:
IP=$(curl -s http://myip.dnsomatic.com/)
in
IP=$(/usr/local/bin/curl -s http://myip.dnsomatic.com/)
and
RETURN=$(curl -k -s https://${USER}:${PASS}@updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=${HOSTNAME}&myip=$IP&wildcard=NOCHG&mx=NOCHG&backmx=NOCHG)
in
RETURN=$(/usr/local/bin/curl -k -s https://${USER}:${PASS}@updates.dnsomatic.com/nic/update?hostname=${HOSTNAME}&myip=$IP&wildcard=NOCHG&mx=NOCHG&backmx=NOCHG)
is enough to have the script correctly working on the Duo.
I kindly ask super-poussin to update the addon.
Hope the above is of any help.

Sergio - super_poussinVirtuosoThank you Sergio 1.5 is out
it was done for OpenDNSUpdater and not DNSOMATIC
Shame on me I forget the basic and not comparing both - dl78Aspirant

Thanks All for your help.
However, I tried version 1.5 but my DynDNS still not changed properly.
I checked with "tail -f /var/log/DNS-O-Matic.log" and got the following:

- dl78AspirantHello,
I didn't find any "/tmp/ folder.
I uninstalled Addon and deleted /addons-scripts/DnsOMatic/ then reinstalled version 1.5 and reboot after modifying the dnsomatic file. But it's the same issue.
I don't understand what is going wrong. - super_poussinVirtuosoall the nas have a /tmp
the /tmp is 1777 rights if you did not have a /tmp on your nas , you wil not be able to upgrade a NAS or install addons
caan you please redo the installation of the addon it will clean all the old files
