# 1. Create a credentials file in the same folder with this script named
# dyndns-update.sh_EXAMPLE.COM.creds.txt
# with user credentials, such as
# example.com-username:USER-PASSWORD
#
# 2. Try this at least once. The output of curl commands tells if update is successful, not necessary or if something was wrong.
# sudo sh /path/to/dyndns-update.sh

# 3. Run this as a cronjob
# $ sudo crontab -e
# and add something like this to your crontab (this checks IP every 10 mins):
# */10 * * * * sh /path/to/dyndns-update.sh EXAMPLE.COM
