change-IP-email-me

Linux script that automatically sends an email when your WAN IP address changes, usually is default setup by your ISP. I use this to keep track of my IP in case I'm away from home and the off chance that my IP address changed, I know where home is... Take that ISP's. Setup for Ubuntu 16.04, most debian distros should work though. You may need additioinal packages, keep an eye out in your terminal.

setup - clone repo - in a terminal (ctl + alt + t) run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/4n0m4l0u5/change-IP-email-me.git

setup - make changes to auto setup file to suit your needs, directions are in the file itself:

nano auto_ip_check.sh

OR if you're oldschool, you can use vi:

vi auto_ip_check.sh

make your changes and save

setup - make file executable and run:

chmod +x auto_ip_check.sh && ./auto_ip_check.sh

make sure it works and you're all done, you should get an initial email the first time it runs... setup also tells you how to add to cron jobs

check systemlogs for any errors if it is not working
