====== Simple IP-Address Watchdog ======

<code>
$ crontab -l
@reboot /usr/bin/sleep 60 && /usr/bin/curl -kso /dev/null https://domain.com/watchdog?hostname=$(hostname)\&address=$(/usr/sbin/ip -4 route get 1.0.0.0 | /usr/bin/awk '/dev/ { print $7 }')
</code>

Results are seen in the access.log of the webserver placed in the curl call
