This is normal behaviour. Unless you give it the full url as given in your script. A much simpler script would be #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/curl -s "https://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=@&domain=appl-ecosys.com&password=***"; >/dev/null /usr/bin/curl -s "https://dynamicdns.park-your-domain.com/update?host=@&domain=twodogs.us&password=****"; >/dev/null Notice I left the &ip=$NEWIP out. If you do not include the ip, it gets the ip address from the client packets. Also I left off all the checking to see if the IP address has changed. This gets rid of one of the main places the script could fail.
