Create a crontab script with curl
Trying to set a cronjob to use with curl.
Want to update IP on noip.com.
The command below gets the IP from noip.com but does not update it with my servers ip.
I mean: when the IP is not updated then I get the old one:
curl -X GET 'https://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update' --header "Authorization: Basic $(base64 <<< $xxxxxxx:$xxxxxx)" -d "hostname=$xxxxx.ddns.net"
this command below poduces error sh: GET: command not found
ExecStart=/usr/bin/curl-X GET 'https://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update' --header "Authorization: Basic <$xxxxx:$xxxxx>" -d 'hostname=<hostname>.xxxxxx.ddns.net'
Need help for an appropriate script
linux cron curl

On a modern Linux system, you do not want to use crontab, but systemd timers.
Create the file /etc/systemd/system/updateip.service with the following content:
[Unit]
Description=Update IP
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/curl -X GET 'https://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update' --header "Authorization: Basic <$xxxxx:$xxxxx>" -d 'hostname=<hostname>.xxxxxx.ddns.net'
Now you add a timer in /etc/systemd/system/updateip.timer with the following contents, to run every 10 minutes:
[Unit]
Description=Update IP every 10 minutes
[Timer]
OnCalendar=*:0/10
Enable the timer by running systemctl start updateip.timer
