[SOLVED] Send email when my dinamic public IP change

Nitzz · 09-05-2017, 06:28 PM

Hi to all I'm a newbie in Linux (Raspbian) with my raspberry pi 2.

I've been looking for a long time and I have not found it anywhere.Somebody can help me please?

I have a DYNAMIC public IP and I want connect to my raspberry pi remotely.The big problem is that sometimes my DYNAMIC IP changes

Someone can tell me the command line to put in the crontab without ifconfig.me or other web pages that tells you the new IP changed?

I know that the package MSMTP preconfigured can send this change but I didn't know which command line I have to put in crontab.

I need a wonderful help please? thanks in advance

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

There are several free dynamic DNS sites like noip.com where you can sign up and get a URL. A client runs in the background that automatically updates your IP address. With noip the only caveat for a free account is that you have to confirm your still using the URL every 30 days.

One way to find your internet address without using a web page is the dig command and the opendns servers.

dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com

And this is mine solution :P
This will work if you have systemd (Raspbian Jessie do).

Create folder: /opt/ipchange
Create file: /opt/ipchange/check.sh
Put this into this file and edit the FIELDS according to your needs.

Code:

IP=$(dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com)

# You can edit TITLE and MESSAGE and, you have to edit EMAIL
EMAIL="example@mail.com"
TITLE="IP Change"
MESSAGE="The new ip is: $IP"

if [[ $IP != $(cat current.ip) ]]; then
  echo $IP > current.ip
  echo "$MESSAGE" | mail -s "$TITLE" "$EMAIL"
fi

Then create a new file: /etc/systemd/system/ipchange.timer
With the following content:

Code:

[Unit]
Description=Check the public ip every 15 minutes and send the email if it change.

[Timer]
OnCalendar=*:0/15
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

Then create a new file: /etc/systemd/system/ipchange.service
With the following content:

Code:

[Unit]
Description=Check the public ip and send the email if it change.

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/ipchange/
ExecStart=/bin/bash /opt/ipchange/check.sh

Then enable and start the timer:

Code:

systemctl enable ipchange.timer
systemctl start ipchange.timer

Thank you for your anserws Ferrari - Michaelk - Andros705.I was "fighting" with the solution of Ferrari but I have no exit.First I'll try with MSMTP and then with SSMTP like the example.

I'll try until it comes out, I promise.

Sorry for taking so long to answer and BE THE LINUX BE WITH YOU.

You are the best. Thanks

I am very sorry for your response

.
I have also found a solution in which the terminal sends me an e.mail and thanks to this (show the original) I can know my IP with only one .py file, granting permissions and putting it in to the crontab
I create the file email.py in /home/pi/ --------> Code of the file:

import smtplib, getpass, os
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText

print("**** Send email with Gmail ****")
user = ('email@gmail.com')
password = ('the password of email@gmail.com')

From = ('email@gmail.com')
password = ('password of your email@gmail.com')
To = ('anotheremail@gmail.com')
Subject = ('Subject you want)
message = ('message you want')

gmail = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)

gmail.starttls()

gmail.login(user, password)

gmail.set_debuglevel(1)

header = MIMEMultipart()
header ['Subject'] = Subject
header ['From'] = From
header['To'] = To

mensaje = MIMEText(mensaje, 'html') #Content-type:text/html
header.attach(Subject)

gmail.sendmail(From, to, header.as_string())

gmail.quit()

I hope it is useful to someone, it has served me.

I wanted to share it with you for helping me.

Thanks again for your answers, I'll try too. SHARING IS CARING.
