I run a small webserver using dyndns.org as my DNS provider. I do all of my administraion over ssh, and I needed a way to update my DNS records using cron. However, the solutions avaliable for Mac OS X are somewhat limited, and lack command line support. So, I wrote one that does what i wanted it to, and I am providing the source for everyone -- DYNDNSorg [250KB download]. This program has no dependencies other than curl, which is availiable on any version of Mac OSX. This is a gift to all the people that make this site so great. The disk image includes the binary and the source.

[robg adds: I downloaded the app, looked at the source, and used the program to update my dyndns host info. It worked as described, and even though I'm not a programmer, it's clear from looking at the source that your dyndns.org username and passowrd aren't sent anywhere other than dyndns.org. Thanks for the freebie, Robert!]
