Hi my ISP provides a non-statis IP. I am looking for a linux tool to watch ip address change. that can monitor my public and local IP address. If IP address changes it will send an email, to the address specified, with the new IP address. This email also includes the computer name and time the change occurred. This is useful for computers that have dynamically assigned IP addresses, but need to be accessed remotely.
Hope some one can help

There are at least a few web services that offer a host-to-dynamic IP service. Basically, you set up some special software that updates their website every time your host gets a new IP - and you always access it using the same URL
For example, no-ip.com provides this service freely. I"m sure there are others, too

My firewall box has that facility includded. It runs on an old PC, mine is an AMD 333mHz cpu with 128Mb RAM and a 1Gb hard drive and three nics. Once its installed and set up you don't even need a monitor on it as it can be administered from a web browser. I just set up a free account with no-ip.com. set up the option in my firewall. Have a look at smoothwall.org, for the firewall.

Oops getting tired, i forgot to say. I think no-ip.com also have a program you can run on one of your machines if you don't want to build a separate firewall box
also dyndns.org.

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.

thanks, i installed ddclient and it is nice. could you offer a bit hint how to configure ddclient to send out email (eg yuanlux@gmail.com) after each update? It seems only sending out email to root at localhost.

I've not seen the source code of the ddclient but I suppose you might need to hack the code to do that, or even more simplier, just add something like && mail -s ddclient update name@email.com if you set up ddclient in a crontab task or something...

You should read root's mail anyway. You get a daily summary from Logwatch that way and maybe other exciting things. Edit /etc/aliases and change the bit at the end that says
# Person who should get root's mail #root: marc
to
# Person who should get root's mail root: yuanlux@gmail.com

Edit /etc/ddclient.conf and change "mail=root" to "mail=yuanlux@gmail.com".
