Hi fellas.
I've just recently joined this mailing list, as I am getting nowhere fast with trying to create my own personalised scripts. I know exactly what I want them to do, but writing them is another story.Heres the most important one I want to create:
* A script that starts to run ONLY once the computer has automatically reconnected onto the internet. The script then sends a copy of the computers new IP address to an email address, which will be my WAP email (ie. my mobile phone)
The reason I need this script to work is to access files from college, which has restricted access to the internet via a secure NT network to gain access to my computer located at home using Web Sharing. If I was allowed to run, say Timbuktu or IPTracerout on these secure machines, I would, but this is not the case.
I also use an internet account which keeps on disconnecting at irregular intervals, which is why I need my computer's new IP address to be sent to my phone, so that I can locate the new Web Sharing internet address. It was hell trying to drive home, writing the new IP address down and driving back to college, only to find out that the Internet disconnected and reconnected under a new IP address :(
If anyone knows of a script that can already do this, or knows how to get me started with this script, please reply to the list. If you can help me get this script to work, this will really help me out when it comes to assignment deadlines, and so on.
Patiently waiting for any reply,
Joe Baez :)
