I have set up a website on my home box, using http://hn.org as the Domain Name
Server. This is a FQDN (www.cfgraf.com), not a "Vanity Account" (like
cfgraf.hn.org would be). Of course my IP is dynamic, changing about once a
week. I know that I can get a "Vanity Account" from hn that I can forward my
FQDN to, and that that would keep the site available all the time (as hn runs
a script to update the IP of the Vanity Account periodicly). What I am
wondering is if anyone has been able to write a script to update the regular
account when the IP changes? I already have a script in cron that sends me
an email when my IP changes, but surely there is a way to update the account
at hn using lynx and grep. Has anyone tried this?
