# usage:
# 1. put it somewhere in your filesystem
# 2. make the file executable
# 3. adjust the parameters provided below:
#       - USERNAME (replace the '@' by '%40'
#       - PASSWORD
#       - HOST (the default part)
#       - LOGFILE
#       - STOREDIPFILE
# 4. create the log file if necessary
# 5. call it from a cron (see step 7) , optionally providing the hostname as the first (and only) parameter. This means that multiple entries in the crontab can be used for multiple domains.
# 6. set the right permissions on all files (log, script etc)
# 7. usage in crontab (crontab -e). adjust as necessary with the correct parameters
