I could swear I once setup a cron job to check my router and
send me mail if the IP address changed, but I can't seem to
find the script anymore. I believe I used lynx with the
-auth option to pass in the password the router's web
interface wanted, saved the lynx output to a file, and
parsed out the IP addr with perl. Something similar
is probably possible with curl as well.
