Creat noip2 startup script

[silveringking]

So noip2 drives me crazy... So, I wanted something, a script to start it up...

Something like I write the name of the server, plus password and nick on the file, I click and I just start it up, I click again and it stops... It can be two scripts, one to start it and other to stop it... Is that possible? Thank you!

I am not familiar with noip2, but like most commands, if noip2 allows you to pass those parameters from the CLI, or it references a configuration file for information, then certainly it is possible to automate the task you want done.

Run in a terminal >

and post the output (minus any passwords or other sensitive data)

Basically just need to see the output.

Thanks.

More relevant output is needed. Post what

noip2 --help

says on screen or use

We need to know what parameters/arguments it needs.

Noip comes without no manual... Geez somebody should create a deb for this thing because it is SO useful.
