This script enables the server to report its ip addresses after change by sending emails.

### Config:

Configurations are divided into two parts. 

First you should check the script `runner.py`, and set the following variables:

- `SERVERNAME`: the name for your server. 

- `EMAIL`: the email account you use to send emails

- `PASSWROD`: password of the email account (Notice that if you use 163.com email account, you should use the password for mobile devices instead of the login password)

- `SMTP_SERVER`: get this setting from your email service provider

- `SMTP_PORT`:

Second, add the emails which you want to be notified when the IP of the server changes to file `emails.yaml`, which is a yaml setting file.

### Usage:

Use **cron** to run this script periodically. First clone this project to your local directory. Make the `runner.py` executable by

```bash

chmod -x /path/to/runner.py

```

Then edit the configuration of cron

```bash

crontab -e

```

Add the following line:

```bash

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/python /path/to/runner.py

```

Run the following command to make sure the task is reloaded:

```bash

sudo service cron reload

```

The logs of cron is included in `/var/log/syslog`. You can list those logo infomation using:

``bash

sudo grep CRON /var/log/syslog

```
