Take a look at ddclient. 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.
