            <h1>Ultimate Notifier Script</h1>
<p>The service <a href="http://ultimatenotifier.com">Ultimate Notifier</a> allows you to send Push-Notification to your iPhone easily. Based on this, you can write shell scripts that are executed regularly via cron. This could inform you about a changed public IP. To do this, save this script somewhere:</p>
<pre class="sh_sh">
#!/bin/sh

ipfile=".currentip"
service="ifconfig.me"
user="username"
pass="password"
message="IP:"

ip=`curl -s $service`
touch $ipfile
lastip=`cat $ipfile`
if [ "$ip" != "$lastip" ]; then
    echo "New public IP. Sending notification!"
    curl -s "https://www.ultimatenotifier.com/items/User/send/${user}/message=${message}%20${ip}/password=${pass}"
fi
cp /dev/null $ipfile
echo $ip > $ipfile
</pre>

<p>It gets the current public IP via <a href="http://ifconfig.me">ifconfig.me</a> and compares it to the IP stored in a file named .currentip. If they differ, a Push-Notification will be sent and the new IP stored.</p>
<p>With the command</p>
<pre>crontab -e</pre>

<blockquote>
<p>You can add a cronfile entry. To execute the script every 30 minutes, use this:</p>
</blockquote>
<pre>*/30 * * * * /Users/anon/bin/ipnotify.sh</pre>

<p>You can find the code on <a href="https://github.com/xythobuz/Snippets/blob/master/ipnotify.sh">GitHub</a>, too!</p>
<p>Of course, you can extend this principle. This script is called every 5 minutes on my server to notify me about eventual problems.</p>
