interrupted - invalid internal item number

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hello there,
I am trying to use the everydns script found here:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Dynamic_DNS_Update_Script_for_EveryDNS

but when I run it, I get the following error:

[admin@router] /system script> run everydns
interrupted
           invalid internal item number

Any ideas?

What do you have set for the interface name?

:local edinterface "INTERFACE_NAME"

That might cause an error if not correct.

thanks for the hint. In keeping things simple, I kept the pre-configured name, so my config reads:

:local edinterface "ether1"

Any other ideas? How can I “debug” this script? Copy/pasting the entire script into the terminal?

The “internal item number” is normally gotten from a “find” command, like

:local edip [ /ip address get [/ip address find interface=$edinterface ] address ]

or

:local str [/file find name="EveryDNS.$eddomain"];

I use a “:put” command to debug, but it only works when the script is run from the command line. It won’t work with the scheduler. Try adding a couple lines like this:

:put "made it here";

I would put one of these immediately after each of those two statements and run it. See where it displays the “internal item number” error in relation to “made it here”.

Use

:global ddnsip [ /ip address get [find interface=$ddnsinterface disabled=no] address ]
