IPaddress change alert script
My old ISP use to change my external IP address all the time and to keep my DNS name on track I wrote this script:
#!/usr/bin/python import smtplib import urllib2 import time import sys def send_email(): try: server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp', 587)#smtp address and port number server.starttls() #Next, log in to the server server.login("smtp username", "password")#username and password for smtp #def emailSend(ipaddress): to_addr="your email address" subject="IPaddress is changed" message="this is from your webserver:" + html from_addr="you@gmail.com" header = 'From: %s\n' % from_addr header += 'To: %s\n' % to_addr header += 'Subject: %s\n\n' % subject message = header + message #Send the mail #msg = "\nHello!" # The /n separates the message from the headers time.sleep(10) print "wait few seconds..." server.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr, message) #server.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr, message) print "done." return True except: print "Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0] return False response = urllib2.urlopen('http://myip.dnsdynamic.org') html = response.read() print html f = open("/root/myip.txt", "r"); sss = f.read() print f.read() if sss != html: print 'write' ff = open("/root/myip.txt", "w"); ff.write(html) ff.close() if send_email() == False: send_email() else: print 'all good' f.close()
I hope it will be useful to some one else!
Enjoy.
