Dynamic DNS refresh to direct correct

[bghayad]

Hi;

I have Fedora version 5 installed in one machine, in that machine I have a software that need settings, and in that settings I set host=xyz.dyndns.org (actually that host is a remote router existed in other area), when I restart the router so it takes new IP address and it updates that new IP address at dyndns.org and I see this. The problem that still at my fedora machine, I have to restart the machine so host=xyz.dyndns.org will be refreshed and updated and directs to the new IP address, so traffic will be send successfully.

How can i resolve this problem and have a refresh automatically (periodically) so when I need to sent for the host=xy.dyndns.org, then I will send to the right IP address instead of the old IP address? Even if update was possible to be every 1 minute or 5 minute it is accepted. How? Or at least to have update when my fedroa machine is going to send traffic for host=xyz.dyndns.org, so it should refresh and get the new IP address for that domain, How?

I think it something related to refresh cash and so on, but I do not know any thing about that, any one can help?

Regards
Bilal

Automatically refresh IP in DynDNS Database/DNS every hour
* * * * * means minute hour date month year

su -c 'yum install ipcheck'
su -c 'gedit /root/dyndns_update.sh'

* Insert the following lines into the new file

USERNAME=myusername
PASSWORD=mypassword
HOSTNAME=myhostname.dyndns.org

cd ~/
if [ -f /root/ipcheck.dat ]; then
ipcheck -r checkip.dyndns.org:8245 $USERNAME $PASSWORD $HOSTNAME
else
ipcheck --makedat -r checkip.dyndns.org:8245 $USERNAME $PASSWORD $HOSTNAME
fi

* Save the edited file

su -c 'chmod 700 ~/dyndns_update.sh'
su -c 'sh ~//dyndns_update.sh'
su -c 'export EDITOR=gedit && crontab -e'

* Append the following line at the end of file

00 * * * * sh /home/YourUsername/dyndns_update.sh

* Save the edited file

Thanks a lot, but where I can determine the refresh periodically time please?

[fnmblot]

cron maybe?

[bghayad]

If it is, how I will enter it? In which format and where? In the file or some other command?

I know it is in:
su -c 'export EDITOR=gedit && crontab -e'
But if I need to make it every 5 minute, then what the sentence should be.
