[expert] bash script: interesting case
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, I have a dial-up server (it dials the ISP to provide internet connection for a small LAN) on a remote location. Now, I want to ssh to that server. Can I make somekind of script so that everytime it dials the ISP, it will send it's assigned IP to my email? All this time, everytime I want to ssh it, I call the local admin for the IP address. Errr... one more thing, it doesn't have qmail installed or neither sendmail or any other mailserver package. Can bash'es mail command handle it?

Well, you can ask the admin to set a on-connection script to just be like: #!/bin/bash echo $YOUR_IP_ADDR | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] BTW, I have a dial-up connection too - I use KPPP that always shows my current IP address. Errr... one more thing, it doesn't have qmail installed or neither sendmail or any other mailserver package. Can bash'es mail command handle it? mail command usually needs /usr/sbin/sendmail to work. On my 9.2 machine I have /usr/sbin/sendmail soft-linked to /etc/alternatives/mta so it makes postfix handle things as I guess. Artemio. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks Artemio, If I haven't installed any mailserver on it, can I use mail command to utilize the ISP's smtp instead? - -- Fajar http://linux.arinet.org Linux mdk91.sistek.kom 2.4.21-0.13mdk GNU/Linux 15:48:38 up 8:13, 10 users, load average: 0.27, 0.56, 0.52 Quote of the day: Windows 99 has been released!

Hmm... not sure... the way it works is something like as follows: local mail command - your local mail daemon - isp mail daemon or isp mail command - isp mail daemon - your local mail daemon - your local mail Also, you want your isp to mail you your IP address, right? There are two ways: 1. your isp mails it to your machine directly. both your machine and isp's need to have a mail server running 2. your isp mails it to your mailbox in www. isp needs a mail server running and you need a pop3/imap client to get your mail. I have postfix running in my dial-up machine and I can send mail to anyone with it. Artemio. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
