dyndns_update

recently i started to use DynDNS service. to automatically manage IP changes on machine involved i wrote simple shell script. since it is on the router with OpenWRT installed, it includes IP-getting technique required there.

new feature is “-f” option to force IP updating. it is a good thing to do so from time to time, to prevent account removal after 30 days.

#!/bin/sh
USER="username"
PASS="topsi_kret"
DOMAIN="$USER.dyndns.org"
# metchod of getting current IP; this one's valid for OpenWRT/Backfire
IP="`ifconfig  eth0.1 | grep addr: | sed 's#^ *inet addr:##' | sed 's# .*##'`"
 
# get last set IP
LAST_IP_FILE="$HOME/.dyndns_last_ip"
touch "$LAST_IP_FILE"
LAST_IP="`cat "$LAST_IP_FILE"`"
 
# skip if not changed and not forced
[ "$1" != "-f" ] && [ "$LAST_IP" = "$IP" ] && exit 0
 
# update on change
wget -O /dev/null "http://$USER:$PASS@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?hostname=$DOMAIN&myip=$IP&wildcard=NOCHG&mx=NOCHG&backmx=NOCHG" || exit $?
echo "$IP" > "$LAST_IP_FILE"
exit $?

script in raw (i.e. text) form can be obtained here: dyndns_update.
