[OLUG] e-mail dhcp address

[Vincent]

I forget who asked me about this at the meeting, but here it is for
anyone.

This script will send the ip address from the box it runs on to wherever
you need it.  Just schedule it in crontab.

HOST=`/bin/hostname`

MYNEWIP=`/sbin/ifconfig $INTERFACE | grep addr: | \
  awk -F" " '{print $2}' | awk -F":" '{print $2}'`

echo "New dynamic IP number for $HOST is: $MYNEWIP" | \
/bin/mail -s "New IP for $HOST: $MYNEWIP" $MAILTO
