A while back I posted problems I was having using ezipupdate on Bering
uClib V2.2 behind a adsl router and having hassles getting the correct
external IP address.
In the end I abandoned ezipupdate (nothing wrong with it I just couldn't
get it to work for me) and instead rewrote a script to do the job for me.
Here was the solution:
------\usr\sbin\check_ip starts------------------------
moved script to webserver due to list not liking it.
located at www.help.co.nz/leaf/check_ip
------\usr\sbin\check_ip ends------------------------
Where USERNAME = DynDNS Account Username
PASSWORD = DynDNS Account Password
DOMAINNAME = DynDNS domain name
Note to overcome proxy servers I use port 8245 and as such need to allow
it in shorewall.
I also load wget.lrp package
I have an entry in \etc\cron.d\multicron to call the script every 5
minutes to see if my IP has changed
------\etc\cron.d\multicron starts ------------------------
#Periodic schedule for multicron. (Ping check, Space check, etc)
#Default: Every 15 minutes
HOSTNAME=firewall
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
*/15 * * * * root /etc/multicron-p
*/5 * * * * root /usr/sbin/check_ip 2>&1 >> /var/log/check_ip.log
------\etc\cron.d\multicron ends ------------------------
I hope this is of use to someone
