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).

- can you download it again and the check the log ?
then if you did not see a message with good
can you launch from shell /c/addons-config/DnsOMatic/dnsomatic and post the result and the log :) - What do you mean "download it again and check the log"? I thought I was downloading the log with the dnsomatic add-on?
Sorry about my unix ignorance. - can you donwload the 1.4 again and install it
then look at the log (last lines) if you did not see a good followed by and IP launch the script from shell grab the output and also last line in the log - how do I get into shell and launch the script from terminal after ssh'ing in?
- when you open a ssh conection you are in shell :)
to launch the script :
sh /c/addons-scripts/DnsOMatic/dnsomatic
to see the log :
tail -f /var/log/DNS-O-Matic.log - That worked! Reinstalling 1.4 on top of 1.4, rebooting, disabling dnsomatic add-on, modifying dnsomatic file, and reenabling dnsomatic (and running the dnsomatic file under shell) successfully updated my dnsomatic settings online. Thanks for your help. I will look at the log files in the next few minutes and report back if it's not updating every 5 minutes.
Thanks again. - it will check every 5 but update only if ip change

How do you open a ssh connection to run the script ?
Is there any specific add-on for the Duo to open the ssh ?super-poussin wrote: when you open a ssh conection you are in shell :)

Hi super-poussin,
I cannot get this to work automatically. It updates correctly when I run it from a shell but not when I start the add-on as all I get in the log is the "NO Internet IP : exiting" message. I've added some extra log messages and the curl does not seem to return anything.
Can you suggest a way to fix this.
Thanks in advance.dl78 wrote: super-poussin wrote: when you open a ssh conection you are in shell :)
