# Modified by kdmurray from the source at https://gist.github.com/mhussain/2634050
# - Removed the comparison to the old WAN IP, forces an update each time the script is run
# - Added the touch command to an empty hidden file (~/.last-linode-ddns-refresh) to show
# when the last DDNS update took place.
