A much more robust script...
I've seen a few "Phone Home" scripts recently posted, but they've either lacked robustness, or require Sendmail to be running all the time as a daemon.
Hostreg is a Perl script that "phones home" when connected to a network not "ok'd" by the user. It is designed to be run from cron as root, and launches Sendmail on a per-alert basis.
It tries to be robust when dealing with possible firewalls and utilizes alerts via email, www, and ftp.
It grabs the current network-connected IP address. If the IP address does not match the user-specified list of "good" IP addresses (this list can include partial IP addresses for those with DHCP), it sends out alerts.
