Topic: IP address update notification

[Tim Cabana]

Hello,

I have a need I haven't been able to google an solution to yet (although I likely have not found the correct phrase to search for), or for that matter find an answer here in the discussions (althought I'm sure its come up before (had to have)).  I have also searched freshmeat.  I have a an E-Smith box sitting in another town that is on a dynamic dsl link.  What I need is to be notified by e-mail when the IP address for the dsl connection changes.

The solution I think would be for a script to check the address of the interface specified and compare it against the address from the last time it was run, if the same the end, if different mail new address to e-mail specified in script.

I'm actually a little frustrated that I have not found something like this yet as I think it is something that a number of people need and use.

Thanks in advance to any that may take the time to reply.

Thanks very much, I don't know how I missed your post.  I did search on IP update notification (or was that google only?).  

Anyway, thanks again for your time and consideration.Robert wrote:
