-Next, instead of calling run.sh with cron, we will be calling cron.sh. This is basically a wrapper script that will call run.sh, and pipe the output to `$HOME/cron/DynamicCloudflareDNS.log` so we can keep track of IP changes, as well as any errors that are generated.
+Next, run the following commands:

-To do this follow the instructions below:
-- Make any changes you want to the log path in cron.sh
-- Run `./cron.sh` and make sure that it generated normal output to the log path (nothing should appear in the terminal window)
