Running on Gentoo with OpenRC
-----------------------------

To run this script on Gentoo with OpenRC, you should emerge the ``dnsimple-dyndns`` package:

```
# emerge -av dnsimple-dyndns
```

Then add the following function to your ``/etc/conf.d/net`` file (or edit your postup function,
if already exists):

```bash
postup() {
if [[ "${IFACE}" = "enp3s0" ]]; then
einfo "Updated DNS record: $(dnsimple-dyndns example.com your-domain-token home)"
else
einfo "Ignoring interface: ${IFACE}"
fi
}
```

Replace ``enp3s0`` with your WAN interface, ``example.com`` with your DNSimple.com managed domain,
``your-domain-token`` with your DNSimple.com domain token
(see http://developer.dnsimple.com/authentication/#dnsimple-domain-token) and ``home`` with your
desired DNS record name.
