Re: cron job

Your script didn't work for me either, but this one did:

#!/bin/bash

ip=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep -A 4 ppp0 \
  | awk '/inet/ { print $2 } ' | sed -e s/addr://`
work_address="your work address"
echo "$ip" | mail "$work_address"
exit

Also have you tried using using the 'mail' command on its own? Are you
sure that sendmail is set up correctly? If not, then it won't work.
