ip=`ifconfig xl0 |grep "inet " |awk '{print $2}'`
# change xl0 to out interface

echo -n ' DynDns'
echo

case "$1" in
start)
lynx -dump -auth=${username}:${password}
"http://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=${hostname}&myi
p=${ip}&wildcard=OFF&offline=NO"
;;

stop)
lynx -dump -auth=${username}:${password}
"http://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=${hostname}&off
