You should pull out the IP address here https://gitlab.com/snippets/1865020#L83 and put it as a variable up top with the others. ` username360="XXXXXXX" password360="YYYYYYYY" openhabIP="127.0.0.1:8080" ... http://$openhabIP/gpstracker/gpslogger >/dev/null ` Also I wanted a more descriptive name for the tid, but when I tried to do this `tid=${firstName}${lastName}` it would blow up. So I clearly don't fully understand how the tid is used.
