I did this with the following script. The IP address part may be
ugly, but it works. The script sleeps 5 minutes in order to let
fetchmail get mail and allow my use of the SMTP server. This has been
working for me for a while.
b:/etc/ppp/ip-up.d$ cat 50mail_ip
#!/bin/sh
# send ip when DSL comes up
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
IPADDR=`ifconfig ppp0 | awk '{print $2}' | grep addr | awk -F: '{print $2}'`
sleep 5m
echo $IPADDR | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This script is in the ip-up.d directory and has the same permissions
and ownership as the other files there. I hope this helps.
