It does a lot more then what you are after, but it does send an email when the IP address changes. It is designed for you with the different Dynamic DNS sites to keep your IP address up to date. It will also work with most routers to get the IP address from them. You can install it with yum, and start it as a service after you configure it.</blockquote><div> thanks, i installed ddclient and it is nice. could you offer a bit hint how to configure ddclient to send out email (eg <a href="mailto:yuanlux@gmail.com">yuanlux@gmail.com</a>) after each update? It seems only sending out email to root at localhost. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup! -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com </a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </blockquote></div>
