Display stdout from dns_write_post

[pjjonesnz]

I need to find the final piece of a puzzle before I officially announce my DirectAdmin to Cloudflare DNS Sync Plugin, which is up and running and a few people are already using.

I want to display a message after synchronization to give extra information to the user, BUT I don't want to throw an error to do this.

I'm hooking in to the dns_write_post.sh custom script, and have the following issue:

• If I use 'exit 0', DirectAdmin just says 'Domain record was updated successfully' and doesn't display any of my echoed text.
• If I use 'exit 1', DirectAdmin displays my echoed text BUT, it doesn't update it's own display to show the changes to any DNS records, as well as saying there is an error.

I also want to make sure I don't halt any execution by throwing an error, I just want to display the script output to give extra configuration help to the user.

Is there an env variable or logfile that DA looks at after running a script to see if there is any message to display?

I have seen custom script message output (in the Green box) when creating a domain, but not when using dns_write_post.sh

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend that you contact [email protected] or open a ticket in your client area. Otherwise ask @smtalk (https://mc2.dev) for commercial help.

FYI, special exit code 42 for dns_write_post.sh will now add output to screen without being considered an error:
