- Short: Client for Staticky's dyndns service
- Author: robert@dynamix.force9.co.uk (Robert Wilson)
- Uploader: robert@dynamix.force9.co.uk (Robert Wilson)
- Type: comm/misc
- Requires: TCP/IP stack
-
-
- Description:
-
- ARexx script to update Staticky's server with your current IP address. For
- more info on this service look at http://www.staticky.com
-
-
- Installation:
-
- Copy the script to rexx:
-
-
- Configuration:
-
- There is only one setting to change. Set "userxsocket" to 0 to use TCP: dos
- device or 1 to use rxsocket.library.
-
-
- Usage:
-
- From the shell type ;
-
- rx rexx:statickyupdate.rexx username password hostname
-
- Alternatively launch from an AmigaDOS script every time you connect to the
- internet using an online event in Miami/Genesis. For example ;
-
- sys:rexxc/rx >nil: statickyupdate username password hostname
- if $RC not eq 0
- run <>nil: c:requestchoice TITLE "Error!" BODY "Unable to update DNS*nwith dyndns.staticky.com" "Hmm"
- endif
-
- As you can see from the above example if all is successful then RC is set
- to 0 and upon any error it is set to 5 (warn). When running from the shell
- you will also see a descriptive error message.
-
- If your username and hostname (less the '.staticky.com') are the same then
- you only need to supply the username and password. If your username and
- hostname are different then do not add '.staticky.com' to your hostname -
- the script does it for you.
-
-
- Bugs, problems etc:
-
- None known at present. Script only tested by me with MiamiDx. If you find
- any please let me know.
-
-
- Future:
-
- Maybe add a 10 second time out to the rxsocket.library code. However I'm a
- little puzzled by rxsocket.library so if someone would like to do this for
- me then please do ;-) However I ask that you try not to use any additional
- ARexx libraries.
