I have some python code and a bash script to run it, and it works great.
My overall project was to see when my wan address changes and email me the
new wan IP address.
this allows me to  ssh in or vnc in  when traveling.  I only have a dynamic
ip address.

this code will run ever 10 min. at home and does not involve the internet
until my IP changes.

 #!/bin/bash
 python dougsendmailpython3.py

import smtplib
import subprocess
#import os, sys

p=subprocess.Popen("curl ipinfo.io/ip", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
p.stdout.readline()
p.stdout.readline()
p.stdout.readline()
q=p.stdout.readline()
print "Current IP = "+ q


file = open("wanipadds.txt", "r")
oldip = file.read()
file.close()
print "now for oldip = " + oldip


if oldip != q :
  print "New IP found!!! "
  file = open("wanipadds.txt", "w")
  file.write(q)
  file.close()
  from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart
  server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
  server.starttls()
  server.login("doug.dastew at gmail.com", "password")
  SUBJECT = " IP Address is = "+ q
  msg = MIMEMultipart()
  msg['Subject'] = SUBJECT
  server.sendmail("doug.dastew at gmail.com", "doug.dastew at gmail.com",
msg.as_string())
  server.quit()

My email looks like this

IP Address is = 70.54.94.9


Thanks again and if anyone wants this code it is free!!!!!
