Unotelly Cron Job

[Kryspy]

Question regarding cron jobs for auto IP update.

I have successfully set up a wan-start to update my unotelly IP using a script from somewhere in these fourms. What is the way to set up a cron job for it? I would like to have it check every 3 hours.

Is it:

cat << EOF > /jffs/scripts/services-start
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/cru a UnotellyIP "* /3 * * * /jffs/scripts/wan-start"
EOF

or can I just do a:

cat << EOF > /jffs/scripts/services-start
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/cru a UnotellyIP "* /3 * * * root wget -qO - http://www.unotelly.com/unodns/auto_auth/hash_update/updateip.php?user_hash=your_token"
EOF

Please advise

1. only for minutes you can use */5 syntax. for hours use 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24

2. I create file /jffs/crontabs/admin and add cron jobs to that file
3. in init-start script add:
ln -s /jffs/crontabs/admin /var/spool/cron/crontabs/admin
