Well, then just let us know when you get stuck, and we'll be glad to help you...be sure to post the script you've written, and what error(s) you're getting.

And you asked "how to write a script"?? Well, just open an editor, and start typing. Based on what you're wanting, I'd look at the ifconfig and netstat commands, along with the mail command.

okay, I understand but is it possible to create a script that will automatically send information to E-mail address online?

Yep, very possible. See my previous post where I mentioned the commands to look up.

This depends on a few things, namely if you plan to send it directly from your machine (sendmail/mail/nail) or whether you'll route it through SMTP. For the former, you'll often be blocked by your LAN or ISP from accessing port 25 on remote servers. If you're going through SMTP, you'll have to be set up with an email provider to have such access.
