no-ip update script work but fails as a scheduled task

RouterOS Scripting
1

I’ve got a no-ip update script. Works great if I run it manually but when ran as a scheduled task it fails.

The script is right from the wiki.

Any ideas? It’s set to run every 5 minutes
##############Script Settings##################

:local NOIPUser “username@bleh.com”
:local NOIPPass “pass”
:local WANInter “CTDSL”

###############################################
log info “running update-no-ip script”
:local NOIPDomain “myhostname.no-ip.biz”
:local IpCurrent [/ip address get [find interface=$WANInter] address];
:for i from=( [:len $IpCurrent] - 1) to=0 do={
:if ( [:pick $IpCurrent $i] = “/”) do={
:local NewIP [:pick $IpCurrent 0 $i];
:if ([:resolve $NOIPDomain] != $NewIP) do={
/tool fetch mode=http user=$NOIPUser password=$NOIPPass url=“http://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update\3Fhostname=$NOIPDomain&myip=$NewIP” keep-result=no
:log info “NO-IP Update: $NOIPDomain - $NewIP”
}
}
}


** EDIT **
I just looked at the run count on the scheduled tasks and the scripts — The scheduled task just ran but the script’s run count did not increase.

I have all the policy boxes checked.

Changing
log info “running update-no-ip script”

To
: log info “running update-no-ip script”

Got it running but it still doesn’t update no-ip.
I see the entry in the log from it running but I check no-ip and nothin

Try also replace “\3F” with “?”

I should have updated sooner, sry. I did end up resolving the issue. Still not sure exactly what the issue was but I got irritated enough to completely rewrite the scripts from scratch, completely discarding what I found in the wiki.

I’ll post them next chance I get. This dns update script was also used in conjunction with a ipsec update script to automate reestablishing the tunnels.

Maybe they can be contributed to wiki, I dunno. They are very reliable now and by my estimate they manage to get the ipsec tunnels back in business in no more then 10 minutes (2 tunnels)
