-## Introduction
-
-**Petrified** is a bash client to update dynamic DNS at freedns.afraid.org;
-the goals are for simplicity, flexibility and configurability which using
-the minimal system tools installed with most distributions.
-
-* Code: https://github.com/troyengel/petrified
-* AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/petrified/
-
-## Features
-
-Several configuration methods:
-
-* /etc/petrified.conf
-* ~/.petrifiedrc
-* -c (config) on the commandline
-
-High level items of interest:
-
-* IPv4 and IPv6 support
-* PID usage to prevent race conditions or stacked crons
-* Logging via journald, syslog, stdout and a logfile simultaneously
-* Local IP reporting for use with internal DNS entries
-* Caching of the last IP to reduce upstream impact
-* Usable via cron, NetworkManager dispatcher, commandline, systemd, etc.

-## Configuration
-
-Copy the default configuration file to */etc/petrified.conf* for global
-use, *~/.petrifiedrc* for user-level use, or another location as desired.
-At a minimum the `DDNS_KEY` variable must be configured for basic usage;
-all other variables are preconfigured for system level (root) usage.
-
-If implementing at the user level, be sure and set the various file location
-options to a directory that is writable by the user; the default config is
-fully documented and should make sense.
-
-## Usage
-
-Usage is simple - just run `petrified` and check your log(s).
-
-To use a custom configuration file, the `-c` (*config*) parameter is 
-supported; note that using this option will **not** read the global/local
-configuration files and only use the variables from this custom file.
-
-## Acknowledgements
