you can modify this for your ppp port, save in it under /etc/cron.daily
and make it executable ...
#!/bin/sh
IP=`/sbin/ifconfig | /bin/grep -3 eth0 | grep addr:| /usr/bin/cut -c
21-33`
echo "http://$IP" | mail -s IP [EMAIL PROTECTED]
.. or take time to write it in perl ;-)
Even better you can modify it so it will store the ip in a file and just
email it when "ifconfig" returns a different IP.
there is no need to use perl ..
