I seem to use my computer as much remotely as I do locally. In addition, I use PPPoE to run my internet connection and there are times when it gets wonky. I was just wondering if there was a perl script or something out there that I could set in my crontab to mail me me ifconfig file every 15 minutes or so to tell me what my ip is. I also use a dynamic dns service dnsq.org, but if let's say my hotmail account got these messages, then I would know then network connection was okay. Will puting a .forward in my /root directory do the trick? Thanks jenn
