And what would be the necessity of changing IPFILE?
To record the current ip, thereby enabling checking if it has changed.
I understood the theory, but wasn't sure if the actual string IPFILE has any significance or is just a random name.
Sorry, I misunderstood. IPFILE is just a variable name set in the beginning of the script. The filename has no particular significance, it just needs to be stored somewhere the script will have access to.
I've now installed the script. But I've never set up any mail service as root on the remote machine. What do I do to ensure it mails me, do I have to set up an account in a mailing app?
"mail" will just drop the mail in the normal queue, so you will need e.g. postfix/sendmail/exim running on the remote machine. I think the openSUSE standard postfix config will suffice. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.0°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
