CruiseshIP

CruiseshIP is a tool for monitoring your dynamic public IP address so you don't miss when it changes. It checks for a change each day and emails you if it has changed since the last check. Read about why I built it here.

Setup

To set up CruiseshIP:

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Change the receiver in cruiseshIP.py to the email you want to receive alerts on.
3. cd into the project directory
4. Run setup.sh

That's it! CruiseshIP will notify you via email when your public IP address changes.

Uninstallation

CruiseshIP uses cron to handle time-based alerting. To stop these alerts from happening you will need to use crontab to remove the job that runs cruiseshIP.py.

This tutorial explains how to remove a specific cron job.
